honey wings recipe
- Total Time: 70 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
Baked chicken wings tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-ginger-lime glaze, offering a crispy texture without deep frying for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 kg chicken wings, separated and patted dry
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 120 ml honey
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice and 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch, mixed with 3 tbsp cold water
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, divided
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate Wings: Combine dried wings with oil, salt, pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and half of the ginger in a large bowl. Toss until coated. Marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- Bake Wings: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange marinated wings in a single layer on a lined baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare Glaze: While wings bake, prepare the glaze. Combine honey, remaining ginger, lime juice and zest, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Thicken Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Pour slurry into simmering glaze, whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
- Toss and Serve: Transfer hot, crispy wings to a large clean bowl. Pour the prepared glaze over the wings and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated. Serve immediately, garnished with remaining sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
Notes
To achieve crispy skin, ensure wings are completely dry before seasoning. Do not crowd the baking pan; use two sheets if necessary. Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 5-10 minutes to maintain crispness.
