Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Marinade
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the wings evenly and crisping the skin.
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade that will infuse the wings.
- Marinate Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each wing is evenly coated in the marinade. This step helps the flavors penetrate the meat.
- Arrange Wings: Place the marinated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and allows for easy cleanup.
- Bake Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning on both sides.
- Broil for Crispiness: Switch your oven to broil and cook the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes. This step gives the wings an extra crispy and caramelized finish.
- Serve: Remove the wings from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve them hot. Enjoy these flavorful wings as a snack or a meal.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
- You can substitute chicken wings with drumettes if preferred.
- Allow wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
- Leftover wings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for best taste.
