Ingredients

2 pounds - Chicken wings
2 tablespoons - Oil
6 ounces - Tomato paste
½ cup - Water
3 tablespoons - Apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons - Honey
½ tbsp - Soy sauce
1 tbsp - Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp - Garlic powder
1 tsp - Onion powder
1 tsp - Chipotle powder
1 tsp - Paprika
¼ tsp - Salt
¼ tsp - Pepper
1 ½ tablespoons - Butter

Instructions

Combine tomato paste and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until combined.
Whisk in all remaining ingredients, except for the butter.
Bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low for 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter.
Preheat oven to 425℉.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Pat the chicken wings dry and add in batches to the skillet.
Pan sear the chicken wings on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. You're not cooking the wings in the skillet, just searing them.
Remove the chicken wings to the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake chicken wings for 15-20 minutes, until an inserted meat thermometer reads 165℉.
Place the chicken wings in a bowl and pour in 2-3 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce, as desired.
Toss the chicken wings until fully coated. Serve warm.
