Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet lined with aluminum foil
  • 1 wire rack
  • 1 small saucepan

Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and placing a wire rack on top.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl and sprinkle with baking powder and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Ensure they are spaced out to allow for even cooking.

Cooking

  • Place the wings in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
  • While the wings are baking, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Remove the baked wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until well coated.

Serving

  • Serve the wings hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauces.

Storage

  • Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
