About Honey garlic chicken wings

Honey garlic chicken wings are a popular dish originating from Asian cuisines but have gained global recognition for their savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. Made primarily of chicken wings marinated in a mixture of honey, garlic, soy sauce, and spices, they are typically baked or fried to achieve a crispy texture. Chicken, the main component, serves as a good source of protein, while garlic adds antioxidant properties and honey provides natural sugars. While tasty, the dish can be high in sodium and added sugars depending on the marinade composition. Proper portion control is recommended to balance its nutritional profile.

Health Benefits

• Rich source of protein from chicken, promoting muscle repair and growth.
• Honey contains antioxidants, which can help protect cells against oxidative stress.
• Garlic is high in allicin, a compound linked to improved heart health and immune system support.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains soy, gluten (if soy sauce contains wheat)

Suitable for: High-protein diets, low-carb diets (if sugar is limited)

Not suitable for: Vegetarian diets, vegan diets, low-sodium diets

Selection and Storage

Store cooked wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
