What Goes Into Sweet and Tangy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings?
To make these finger-licking good wings, you will need:
- Chicken wings
- Flour
- Spices: mustard powder, garlic powder, ground ginger
- Cooking spray
- Honey
- Soy sauce
- Minced garlic
- Fresh ginger
- Cornstarch
- Sriracha
- Lime juice
- Sesame seeds

How Can I Make Sticky Sweet Honey Garlic Chicken Wings?
- Dredge the wings (drumettes and flat wings) in a mixture of flour, mustard powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are well covered in the mixture and shake off any excess.
- Place the floured wings in a baking sheet, spray them with cooking spray, and bake them for 30 mins at 350 F for 15 mins.
- While the wings are baking, make the sauce by combining the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sriracha, lime juice, and sesame seeds. Bring to a boil and turn the heat to low.
- Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water. Add this to the sauce and simmer until thick.
- Take the cooked wings out of the oven, toss them into the sauce until fully covered, return them to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 mins, flipping them over halfway until sticky. Serve with freshly sliced green onions and fresh cilantro on top.
How Can I Keep Honey Garlic Wings From Burning While Baking?
Honey can burn rather quickly in the oven, and any sauce that has honey in it, will likely burn before the wings are fully cooked. The best way to prevent this is to bake the wings without the sauce first, until fully cooked. Then, you can toss them in the sauce containing honey and bake them again for just about 10 mins or until the wings become sticky but not burnt.
Why Do I Have To Coat Chicken Wings in Flour Before Baking Them?
This creates a coating that lets the sauce stick better to the wings and makes them crispier.
