Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drums)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Prep the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- Make the sauce: While the wings bake, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Coat the wings: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional). Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
- You can also make this recipe in an air fryer by cooking the wings at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
