- 2 lbs chicken wings (split at joints, tips removed, 907 grams)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (or chili garlic sauce, adjust for spice level)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Preheat your oven
Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This helps the wings cook evenly and get crispy.
- Prepare the marinade
In a large bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha (or chili garlic sauce), rice vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
- Marinate the wings
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are well coated in the marinade. Let them sit for 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.
- Bake the wings
Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
- Glaze the wings
In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the wings with additional honey for a sticky glaze. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze is caramelized.
- Serve
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
