Ingredients
  

For the Wings
  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings The star of the dish, providing a sturdy base for flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder Adds a savory depth; for an extra kick, consider using fresh minced garlic.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Offers a delightful smokiness reminiscent of Halloween bonfires.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Balances the flavors; use freshly cracked for a more robust taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for bringing out the natural flavors of the wings; kosher salt works well here.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps in achieving crispy skin; substitute with vegetable oil if preferred.
For the Bat Wing Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Hot Sauce Imparts a tangy heat; adjust the amount to suit your spice tolerance.

For Garnish

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Bat Wings
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until they are evenly coated. Arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken wings for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through. The wings should become golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature reaching at least 165°F (74°C). Keep an eye on them towards the end of cooking to prevent burning, and remove them once they're perfectly crispy.
  3. While the wings are baking, prepare the Bat Wing Sauce by whisking together hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
  4. After the wings have finished baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the freshly made Bat Wing Sauce over the wings and toss them thoroughly until they are all coated in the delicious sauce. This step adds a tantalizing zing to the wings, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.
  5. To add a festive touch, sprinkle the coated Bat Wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added texture and color. Arrange the wings on a serving platter, and consider adding some spooky decorations around them. These Bat Wings are now ready to be enjoyed at your Halloween gathering!
