Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation around the wings for even cooking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps create a crispy skin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cinnamon, ground ginger, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not touching to ensure even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, butter, lemon juice, and a pinch of cinnamon (optional). Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey glaze over the wings and toss gently to coat them evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your sweet and savory Cinnamon Honey Wings!
