Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up during cooking. Lightly season with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  2. Cook the Wings: Choose your preferred method—bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or deep fry until golden brown and crispy, ensuring juicy interiors and crispy skin.
  3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the freshly minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant but not browned, then stir in honey and soy sauce. Simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
  4. Toss Wings in Sauce: Place the cooked wings in a large bowl, pour the warm honey garlic sauce over them, and toss well to coat every wing evenly with the sticky glaze.
  5. Serve Immediately: Transfer the glazed wings to a serving plate. Optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley or sliced green onions, and serve hot for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Pat wings dry to maximize crispiness, whether baking or frying.
  • Use fresh garlic cloves for a vibrant, aromatic sauce.
  • Avoid overcooking wings to prevent drying out; monitor cooking times closely.
  • Toss wings in sauce while warm so the glaze sticks perfectly.
  • Double the sauce recipe to ensure all wings are fully coated, especially when serving a crowd.
