Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.333 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 stalks scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel, then evenly rub the spice mixture onto all sides of the wings.
Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While the wings are baking, make the honey glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the honey and soy sauce to the saucepan. Stir to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly. Remove the glaze from heat and set it aside.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them into a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared honey glaze over the wings, tossing to coat them evenly.
Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and stick to the wings.
If desired, garnish the wings with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the honeyed chicken wings hot and enjoy!
