Crispy Honey Garlic Baked Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe uses two pounds of chicken wings tossed with olive oil and a seasoning blend containing kosher salt, cornstarch, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Baking at 400°F for 30 minutes, flipping halfway, crisps the wings. Then, a honey garlic sauce combining low-sodium soy sauce, honey, tomato passata, toasted sesame oil, and garlic powder is drizzled over the wings before baking an additional 10 minutes to set the glaze.
The cornstarch ensures a crispy skin by absorbing moisture and helping the seasoning adhere. The sauce adds a glossy finish that is flavorful but not overly sweet. The garlic and smoked paprika impart savory depth, while honey adds subtle sweetness.
These wings are suitable as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal, often paired with dipping sauces or fresh herbs like parsley for garnish. The recipe is practical for oven baking, avoiding frying.
Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to four days and can be reheated. Maple syrup can substitute honey. Serve with vegetables such as celery or carrot sticks to balance richness.
