🍯🍗 HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS — STICKY, JUICY & IRRESISTIBLY GOOD! 🍗🍯

 


🛒 WHAT YOU’LL NEED

🍗 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes

🍯 1/3 cup honey

🥣 2 tablespoons soy sauce

🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced

🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice

🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil

🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt

🌑 1/4 teaspoon black pepper



👩‍🍳 HOW TO MAKE THEM

1️⃣ Prep the wings

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels. This helps them brown nicely.

2️⃣ Season

Place the wings in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3️⃣ Make the glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice.

4️⃣ Bake the wings

Arrange the wings in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet fitted with a wire rack if you have one. Bake for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through.

5️⃣ Add the glaze

Brush the wings generously with the honey glaze. Return them to the oven for 5–10 minutes, brushing once more halfway through, until glossy and caramelized.

6️⃣ Check for doneness

Make sure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part before serving.

7️⃣ Serve hot!

Transfer to a platter, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and serve immediately. 😋




✨ WANT TO MAKE THEM YOUR OWN?

🌶️ Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for some heat.

🧄 Add extra garlic if you love a stronger savory flavor.

🍊 Swap the lemon juice for orange juice for a sweeter citrus twist.

🌿 Sprinkle with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving.

💡 A LITTLE TIP

Honey can brown quickly, so adding the glaze toward the end of cooking helps prevent it from burning while still giving the wings that gorgeous sticky finish.

❤️ THE KIND OF WINGS THAT DISAPPEAR FAST

There’s something about a platter of hot, glossy chicken wings that gets everyone reaching for “just one more.” 😂

Sweet, savory, sticky, and packed with flavor, these are perfect with crunchy vegetables, ranch or blue cheese dressing, or simply served straight from the oven.
