Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon, minced Fresh ginger
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and set a wire rack on top. Lightly coat the rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step will help them crisp up nicely in the oven. Then, sprinkle them evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, low sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sriracha sauce, and minced fresh ginger.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, or until it slightly thickens. Stir occasionally to ensure the honey does not burn.
After the initial 20 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven. Using a brush, generously coat each wing with the prepared honey glaze.
Turn the wings over, brush the other side with more glaze, and return them to the oven. Bake for another 20 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.
Optionally, to add extra crispness, you can broil the wings on high for an additional 3-4 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly on the rack. Serve warm, garnished with any leftover glaze if desired.
