Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 cup yellow mustard
- 0.5 cup honey
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup hot sauce (e.g., sriracha or your choice)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp chopped 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 for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet to allow the chicken wings to cook evenly.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them achieve a crispier texture.
In a large bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and vegetable oil. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, leaving a little space between each wing.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip the wings over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the wings are baking, prepare the sweet hot mustard sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the yellow mustard, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is smooth. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
Once the wings are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sweet hot mustard sauce over the wings and toss them until they are fully coated.
Arrange the coated wings on a serving platter and optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the Sweet Hot Mustard Chicken Wings immediately while they are hot and crispy. Enjoy!
