Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings.

In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil until well coated.

Sprinkle Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt over the wings and mix well.

Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

While the wings are baking, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Add hot sauce and honey to the melted butter, stirring until combined.

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sauce until evenly coated.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot with additional hot sauce on the side.
