Ingredients

• For the Chicken Wings:
  • Party wings
  • Flour (For coating. Note: You can substitute with 1-2 tablespoons of baking powder for a different texture or omit for naked wings.)
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

• For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
  • Soy sauce
  • Honey
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Smoked paprika (Can substitute with regular paprika, but smoked paprika is recommended for enhanced flavor.)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken dry. Place the wings in a large bowl or plastic bag.
2. Coat the Wings: Add flour (or your chosen substitute), garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Toss until the wings are well coated.
3. Cook the Wings: You can choose to bake or air fry the wings. Adjust the cooking time based on your cooking method:
   • For Baking: Preheat your oven and bake until the wings are crispy. Exact temperatures and timings will depend on your oven and the size of your wings.
   • For Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer and cook according to your device’s instructions, until the wings are crispy.
4. Make the Sauce: While the wings are cooking, heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Combine soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and smoked paparka. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is well incorporated and slightly thickened.
5. Combine: Once the chicken wings are cooked, remove them from the oven or air fryer and place them in a serving dish. Drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Additional Tips

• To Make Spicy: Add Sriracha or cayenne pepper to the sauce mixture for extra heat.
• For Naked Wings Without Breading: Simply omit the flour/baking powder coating. The cook time remains the same.
• Reheating: Reheat wings in the oven or air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warm. It’s best not to microwave them as it may affect the texture.
