#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Wings**:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels
to remove excess moisture.
2. **Season the Wings**:
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the wings with olive oil, then toss them in the seasoning mix until evenly coated.
3. **Bake the Wings**:
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
4. **Make the Glaze**:
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the BBQ sauce and honey. Stir to combine and heat the sauce until warmed through. Remove from heat.
5. **Glaze the Wings**:
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the glaze over the wings, ensuring they are well-coated. Return the wings to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the glaze to set and caramelize.
6. **Serve**:
Garnish the wings with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot with the crunchy burgers.
