Ingredients:
– 2 pounds chicken wings
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation Steps:
1. Marinating the Chicken Wings:
Start by marinating the chicken wings to infuse them with flavor. In a bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
2. Preparing the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Remove the marinated chicken wings from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while the oven heats up.
3. Baking the Chicken Wings:
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
4. Glazing the Chicken Wings:
While the chicken wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining marinade over medium heat until it thickens slightly. This will create a sticky glaze that will coat the wings beautifully.
5. Finishing Touches:
Once the chicken wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the honey glaze. Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and create that irresistible sticky coating.
6. Serving the Honey-Glazed Chicken Wings:
Once the chicken wings are done, transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve the honey-glazed chicken wings hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauce and sides for a complete meal.
Whether you’re hosting a party or simply looking for a delicious snack, these honey-glazed chicken wings are sure to be a hit. The perfect balance of sweetness and savory flavors, combined with that sticky glaze, makes these wings irresistible.
