Honey garlic chicken wings bring delectable Asian-inspired flavors to your dinner table. Crispy wings glazed with sweet honey and aromatic garlic create an irresistible meal that will make you crave more.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 30 chicken wings

Rub:

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sauce and Seasonings:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Garnish:

  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly blot chicken wings using clean kitchen towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crisp exterior during roasting.
  2. Create a zesty seasoning blend in a mixing bowl, generously coating each wing with the aromatic rub.
  3. Drizzle wings with high-quality olive oil, massaging the seasoning and oil into the meat for maximum flavor penetration.
  4. Position wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to promote even cooking and crispy edges.
  5. Roast wings in a preheated oven, rotating the tray midway through to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration.
  6. While wings are roasting, craft a luxurious honey garlic glaze by simmering ingredients in a saucepan until the mixture reduces and thickens.
  7. Remove wings from oven and generously brush with the glossy, caramelized sauce, ensuring complete coverage.
  8. Return wings to oven for a final caramelization, flipping once to develop a sticky, rich exterior.
  9. Activate broiler for a few minutes to achieve an irresistibly crisp and slightly charred finish.
  10. Allow wings to rest briefly, then toss in remaining sauce to intensify flavor and create a glistening coating.
  11. Serve immediately while wings are piping hot and sauce is at its most luscious consistency.

Notes

  • Achieve crispy perfection by thoroughly drying chicken wings with paper towels before seasoning.
  • Elevate flavor by creating a homemade honey garlic sauce that caramelizes beautifully during the final baking stage.
  • Strategic flipping and broiling techniques ensure maximum crunchiness and even coating, transforming ordinary wings into restaurant-quality appetizers.
