Baked Honey Chicken Wings

Not rated yetRate it

Baked honey chicken wings are prepared by coating chicken wings in a sweet and savory honey-based marinade, then baking until tender inside and sticky on the outside. During baking, marinade thickens and caramelizes, creating a glossy glaze that coats wings evenly.

This dish is suitable for everyday dinners as well as casual gatherings. Wings can be served straight from oven or finished briefly under broiler for deeper color. Best enjoyed hot, while glaze remains sticky and wings stay juicy.

  1. Rinse chicken wings and pat dry with paper towels. If whole, separate into drumettes and flats.

  2. Combine honey, soy sauce, oil, garlic, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth.

  3. Place wings in large bowl. Pour marinade over wings. Mix well so wings are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes if time allows.

  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking tray with parchment paper or foil. Arrange wings in single layer.

  5. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes. Turn wings once halfway through baking. During last 5-10 minutes, glaze thickens and caramelizes.

  6. Remove wings from oven. Sprinkle with chili flakes or sesame seeds if using. Add few drops of lemon juice if desired. Serve hot. ENJOY!

Cook’s note

Honey caramelizes quickly, so wings should not be baked at excessively high temperature.
Turning wings ensures even browning.
Broiler can be used briefly at end for deeper color.
Leftover wings reheat well in oven.
