Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 10 chicken wings
Coating Mix
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free, if needed)
Optional Garnish
- 1 chopped spring onion
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with a paper towel to ensure the coating sticks and the wings become crispy during cooking.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and salt to create an even coating mixture.
- Coat the Wings: Add the wings one at a time to the flour mixture, making sure each wing is fully and evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour from the wings to avoid clumping.
- Cook the Wings: Bake the coated wings in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for approximately 23 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway for even cooking.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the wings are cooking, mix honey, light brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl until well combined to form the honey garlic glaze.
- Glaze the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the honey garlic sauce until fully coated, allowing the glaze to stick and warm through.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with chopped spring onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, double-coat the wings by dipping them back into the flour mixture after the first coating.
- Use gluten-free flour and soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free friendly.
- Adjust the amount of honey and sugar to control the sweetness of the glaze.
- Ensure wings are patted dry well before coating to maximize crispiness.
