These baked chicken wings are coated in a sticky sweet sauce made from honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger for an Asian kick. Great for Game Day! 

​

Ingredients:

For the chicken wings: 

• 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, and drumettes separated (24-26 chicken wings) 

• 1 Tablespoon avocado oil or vegetable oil 

• salt and pepper, to taste 

 

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 425°. 

2. Use a paper towel to remove any moisture from the chicken wings; toss the wings with the oil, salt, and pepper. 

3. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet then place a wire rack on top. Spread out the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. 

4. Bake for 40-45 minutes until crispy, turning once. 

5. While the wings are cooking, make the sauce.

 

For the soy garlic ginger sauce: 

• 1/2 cup honey 

• 1/3 cup soy sauce 

• 4 garlic cloves, minced 

• 1 Tablespoon ginger, finely diced 

• 1/4 cup water 

 

1. Add the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and water to a small pot. Bring it to a boil and reduce the heat to low letting it simmer for 10 minutes – or until slightly reduced and thickened. 

2. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools. 

3. Remove wings from the oven. Toss the wings in the sauce and place them back in the oven on the baking sheet and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
