Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 0.333 cup honey
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 stalks scallions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel, then evenly rub the spice mixture onto all sides of the wings.

Step 3

Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, make the honey glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the honey and soy sauce to the saucepan. Stir to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly. Remove the glaze from heat and set it aside.

Step 6

Once the wings are done baking, transfer them into a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared honey glaze over the wings, tossing to coat them evenly.

Step 7

Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and stick to the wings.

Step 8

If desired, garnish the wings with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Serve the honeyed chicken wings hot and enjoy!
