Honey Gold Wings Recipe
Honey Gold Wings Recipe is sweet, savory and perfect for any meal or party. These wings are crispy outside and tender inside. The honey-garlic glaze gives them a golden, shiny look and rich flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings separated into drumettes and flats
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes optional
Instructions
Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Prepare chicken wings
- Pat wings dry with paper towels. Dry wings get crispier when baked in the oven.
Season wings
- Place wings in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange on baking sheet
- Place wings on wire rack. Make sure they are not touching. This helps them cook evenly and stay crispy.
Bake wings
- Bake wings in preheated oven for 35–40 minutes. Flip halfway through to cook all sides evenly.
Make honey glaze
- While wings bake, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and chili flakes in small saucepan. Heat gently until warm.
Toss wings in glaze
- Remove wings from oven. Transfer to large bowl. Pour honey glaze over wings and toss to coat completely.
Optional second bake
- Return glazed wings to oven for 5 more minutes. This caramelizes glaze and gives wings sticky, golden finish.
Garnish wings
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley or sesame seeds if desired. This adds color and extra flavor.
Serve wings
- Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy sweet, savory and crispy honey gold wings with friends or family.
Notes
- Pat wings dry for extra crispiness
- Flip wings halfway for even baking
- Adjust chili flakes for desired heat
- Use wire rack for best air circulation
- Warm glaze gently to avoid burning garlic
