Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure the skin achieves a perfect crispness.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
While the wings roast, combine tomato paste, honey, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a small saucepan over low heat.
Whisk the sauce for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze, then remove from heat.
Transfer the baked wings to a clean bowl, pour the spicy BBQ glaze over them, and toss until every wing is well-coated.
Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
