Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.

- Toss the wings with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in honey, barbecue sauce, and hot sauce to create the glaze.
- Coat the baked wings in the honey glaze before serving.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12 to 15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, chopped eggs, celery, relish, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Fold the potatoes into the dressing mixture and chill for at least 1 hour.

Notes
- For spicier wings, add cayenne pepper to the glaze.
- Add a splash of liquid smoke to the baked beans for deeper smoky flavor.
- Smoked chicken can be used instead of smoked turkey in the collard greens.
- Mix a little apple cider vinegar into the potato salad for extra tanginess.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat wings in the oven at 375°F for crispier texture.
- Potato salad should always be served chilled.
