Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup Protein powder (unflavored)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Scallions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, add the unflavored protein powder. Dredge each chicken wing in the protein powder to ensure they are lightly but evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the honey garlic sauce over the top.
Toss the wings gently until they are well coated with the sauce.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
