Here’s a tasty Honey-Glazed Chicken Wings recipe—sweet, sticky, and perfect as an appetizer, snack, or game-day treat.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed and split at the joint
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare Wings
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.
- Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Bake the Wings
- Arrange wings on a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Make Honey Glaze
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Heat over medium heat until slightly thickened (3–5 minutes).
4. Glaze the Wings
- Toss baked wings in the honey glaze until well coated.
- Optionally, return wings to the oven for 5–7 minutes for a sticky, caramelized finish.
5. Serve
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve hot as an appetizer or with rice/vegetables for a meal.
💡 Tips:
- For extra crispiness, broil the wings for 2–3 minutes after glazing.
- Adjust honey and soy sauce ratio for sweeter or saltier wings.
- These can also be cooked in an air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway.
I can also give a spicy honey-glazed variation with sriracha or chili paste if you like your wings with a kick. Do you want me to provide that?
