Scale
Chicken Wings
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray, for greasing
Marinade and Sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 1 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish
- Green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the wings evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent wings from sticking.
- Arrange Wings: Place the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season them generously with salt and pepper for balanced flavor.
- Make Sauce: In a bowl, combine vegetable oil, soy sauce, BBQ sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Stir well until fully mixed to create the marinade and glaze.
- Coat Wings: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken wings, ensuring each wing is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has caramelized beautifully on the wings, creating a sticky, flavorful crust.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions on top if desired for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure wings are spread out and not crowded on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Adjust the honey quantity if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet glaze.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated; wings reheat well in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
- Green onions add a mild onion flavor and a pop of color but can be omitted if not available or preferred.
