Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (tips removed if preferred), fresh or thawed
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 grams)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt evenly over the wings. Toss to coat thoroughly.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not touch.
  5. Bake the wings for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  6. While the wings bake, combine 1/4 cup honey and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly thinned.
  7. Remove the wings from the oven and dip each wing into the warm honey garlic glaze, coating thoroughly. Place them back on the wire rack.
  8. Set the oven to broil on high and broil the coated wings for 3-4 minutes, watching closely until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes slightly.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before coating with baking powder to ensure crispiness. Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid off flavors. Watch wings carefully during broiling to prevent burning the glaze. For less crispiness, wings can be baked directly on the baking sheet without a wire rack. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwave reheating to prevent soggy skin.
