Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Deliciously sticky and flavorful baked chicken wings coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, perfect as an appetizer or game-day snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated at joints and tips removed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or scallions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange in a single layer on the rack.
  3. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are golden and crispy.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. Toss baked wings in the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and parsley or scallions before serving.

Notes

  • For spicier wings, add 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce.
  • Wings can be prepped ahead; bake and sauce them right before serving.
  • Line the baking sheet well to make cleanup easier.
