Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken Wings (fresh or thawed)
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (for spice)
  • Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped Green Onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, removing any excess moisture to ensure crispy skin. Lightly season with salt and black pepper to enhance the natural flavor.
  2. Cook the Wings: Bake the wings at 425°F (220°C) for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to cook evenly, until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can fry or air fry them for similar results.
  3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: While the wings cook, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly and the garlic softens without burning.
  4. Toss Wings in Sauce: Transfer the cooked wings into a large bowl and pour the warm honey garlic sauce over them. Toss thoroughly to coat each wing evenly with the sticky, flavorful glaze.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the sauced wings on a serving plate. Sprinkle with optional sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Dry wings thoroughly to maximize crispiness and avoid steaming.
  • Always use fresh minced garlic for a brighter, more vibrant sauce flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce to prevent the honey and garlic from burning and turning bitter.
  • Toss wings quickly in the sauce while they are still hot to help the glaze stick better.
  • Double the sauce if you prefer extra coating on your wings.
