Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 8 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This allows the wings to cook evenly and stay crispy.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them become crispier during cooking.
Sprinkle the wings with the baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss well to ensure all wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden (careful not to burn the garlic).
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
