Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

How to Make Sticky Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil (if using). Whisk until well blended.
  3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the honey garlic mixture until they are thoroughly coated.
  4. Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and caramelized.
  6. Once done, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the wings before serving.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for that extra touch.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra crispy wings, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before marinating.
  • You can marinate the wings in the honey garlic sauce for a few hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Keep an eye on the wings during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning, as the honey can caramelize quickly.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the honey for maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Use a grill instead of the oven for a smoky flavor—just keep an eye on the wings to avoid flare-ups.

What to Serve With It

  • Celery and carrot sticks with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  • Crispy potato wedges or French fries.
  • A fresh green salad to balance the flavors.
  • Beer or your favorite game day beverages.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the wings on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
