Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the honey sauce for a few hours or overnight before broiling. You can substitute maple syrup for honey if you prefer a different sweetness. Adjust the soy sauce to low-sodium to control salt levels. For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.

Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them, but this may make the wings less crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. Just make sure to thaw them completely before rinsing and patting dry. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure they are cooked through.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the honey sauce a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before using it with the chicken wings. This can save time on the day you're serving them.
What can I substitute for soy sauce?
If you need a soy sauce alternative, you can use tamari for a gluten-free option or coconut aminos for a slightly sweeter taste. Both will work well in this recipe, maintaining the flavors of the sauce.
