Ingredients

Chicken Wings
  • 2 pounds chicken wings rinsed and pat dry
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 3 green onions chopped, optional
Honey Garlic Sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 6 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. If your chicken wings are whole, cut them into 3 pieces at the joints and discard wing tips. Salt and pepper the wings and then place them on the baking sheet.
  3. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake them for 35 to 45 minutes depending on how crispy you want them.
  4. Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a small saucepan, then over medium heat bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until mixture reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes, it should reduce to about half.
  5. Place the wings in a bowl and drizzle the sauce over the wings. Toss the wings in the bowl until each wing is fully coated.
  6. Garnish with green onions, if preferred, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For crispier wings, consider patting them dry with a paper towel before seasoning and baking. The drier the skin, the crispier it will be.
  • If you like your sauce with a kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of Sriracha to the honey garlic sauce.
  • Molasses adds depth to the sauce, but if you don't have it on hand, you can substitute with more brown sugar or even maple syrup.
  • Garnishing with green onions not only adds color but a subtle layer of flavor. Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley also works well.
  • Feel free to double the sauce recipe if you like your wings extra saucy. Just remember to adjust the seasoning accordingly.
