- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- Flakey sea salt, for finishing
- FOR THE CREAMY BBQ SAUCE:

Directions
Line 2 sheet trays with foil and place a baking rack on top of each.
Pat dry all of the wings. Place in a large bowl and toss with the baking powder and salt until every wing is covered. Arrange the wings on the prepared sheet trays leaving about an inch boarder around each wing.
Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to let them dry out. This will ensure a crispier wing.
While the wings dry out, make the sauces. Starting with the Herb Sauce, place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until the herbs are broken down but not completely smooth. Taste for seasoning. Pour into a bowl and set aside until needed.
Next make the Spicy Honey Sauce. Combine everything but the salt in a bowl. Mix together. Set aside until needed. When ready to serve drizzle the sauce over some of the wings and then sprinkle with the salt.
Lastly make the Creamy BBQ Sauce. Place all of the ingredients, minus the green onions, in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside until needed. When ready to serve pour the sauce over some of the wings and garnish with the green onions.
Preheat oven to 475℉.
Bake the wings for 25 minutes, flip and then bake another 10-15 minutes. They should be golden brown and the skin crispy. Remove from oven and immediately serve with the sauces and garnishes.
