Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 wire rack to fit inside baking sheet
- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings separated into wingettes and drumettes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and arrange them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Season the wings with salt and pepper.
- Place the wings in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Make the Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine and Serve
- Once the wings are baked, place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
- Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and enjoy immediately while hot and crispy.
Storage
- Allow the wings to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
