# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and position a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
04 - In a medium saucepan, combine rice, chicken broth, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
05 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chili flakes. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
06 - Transfer baked wings to a large bowl. Pour honey garlic BBQ sauce over wings and toss thoroughly to coat.
07 - Spread buttery rice on a serving platter or individual plates. Arrange sauced wings on top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, sliced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
