Next up on your chicken wing quest should be these sticky Thai peanut chicken wings, these spicy sriracha buffalo wings, or these salt and pepper chicken wings!
Chicken wings: The main ingredient for this dish, you’ll need 2 lb. You can use either wings, drummets, or a mix! Sesame oil: You’ll toss the chicken wings in sesame oil before putting them in the oven to help them crisp up and give them great flavor. Sea salt and black pepper: Use 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper to season the chicken wings. Cilantro and sesame seeds: these are optional to serve, but adding a garnish like cilantro and sesame seeds will definitely make this dish feel restaurant-quality!
For the glaze:
Honey: Sticky, sweet, and really just wonderful. At ⅓ of a cup, this will form the base of your glaze. Soy sauce: This will add a rich, salty flavor to the glaze. You can use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari as alternatives. Ginger and garlic cloves: BFFs in the kitchen, ginger and garlic add some warmth and zing. Use finely grated ginger and finely minced garlic for this recipe. Sesame oil: This nutty flavor will balance some of the sweetness. Chili flakes: This will provide heat, but if you don’t have any at home you can substitute with red pepper flakes. Start by adding a pinch and adjust to your liking.
Turn the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You want it hot, but not so hot it will burn the wings. Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This is super important as it prevents the wings from sticking to the pan. Stuck on wings means you leave the crispiness on the pan (sad face). Coat them with oil. While the skin is full of fat, fat renders fat. You need the fat in the skin to ‘melt’ so that the skin turns crispy, so definitely don’t skip the oil. Keep these in the oven until they’re nice and crispy. Don’t worry about overcooking the chicken, it will be amazing.
Oh boy, serving honey garlic chicken wings at any gathering is sure to gather a chorus of sounds of joy and delight. If you’re wondering what goes well with these honey garlic chicken wings, here are some options that will shine alongside your sticky-sweet dish:
