Honey Chicken Wings
Description
These Honey Chicken Wings are a crowd-pleasing favorite, featuring tender meat coated in a glossy, sticky glaze. The combination of sweet honey, salty soy sauce, and tangy ketchup creates a complex flavor profile that balances perfectly with the heat of fresh pepper. Baked until the skin is crisp and the sauce thickens into a caramelized coating, these wings are ideal for game day parties or a casual weeknight dinner. They offer a simpler, healthier alternative to deep-fried options while delivering all the rich, umami-packed satisfaction you crave.Ingredients

Note
For crispier skin, place a wire rack over the baking dish and arrange wings on the rack. This allows air to circulate around the wings.
If the sauce burns before the chicken is done, cover the dish loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF to maintain texture.
For a spicier version, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the glaze mixture.
