Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Chicken Wings (drumettes and flats)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • Sesame Seeds and Chopped Green Onions (for garnish)

Prepare the Wings

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them to crisp up in the oven.

Season the Wings

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to coat evenly.

Bake the Wings

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the skin is lightly browned.

Make the Honey Garlic Glaze

While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Glaze the Wings

Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a clean bowl. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly. You can also brush the glaze on for a more even coating. Place the wings back on the baking sheet.

Broil (Optional)

For extra sticky and caramelized wings, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. You need to broil at the end to make the honey caramelise, giving it a beautiful glaze and texture.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish the honey garlic glazed chicken wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I make these wings ahead of time?

    Yes, you can bake the wings ahead of time and then toss them with the glaze just before serving. You may want to reheat them briefly in the oven to warm them through.
  • Can I grill these wings instead of baking them?

    Yes, you can grill the wings over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through. Brush with the honey garlic glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.
  • How can I adjust the sweetness of the glaze?

    If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of honey. You can also add a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice to balance the sweetness.
