Gary'S Honey Glazed Wings
Sweet and savory honey glazed wings with a hint of chili and garlic, perfect for casual gatherings or game day, offering bold flavors and crispy texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine chili sauce or ketchup, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and chopped garlic in a bowl and marinate the chicken wings for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning over 1 to 2 times.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange marinated wings in a large casserole dish and bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until the wings are glazed.
- During the last 3 to 4 minutes of baking, broil the wings to crisp them up.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the wings overnight to allow the honey and soy sauce to penetrate the meat. If you want a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the marinade. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. If chili sauce isn't available, ketchup works just fine as a substitute.
Serving Suggestions
These honey glazed wings are perfect for game day or casual gatherings. Serve them alongside celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic touch. They pair beautifully with American recipes like Skillet Chicken Supper or Hamburg Potato Bake. A light salad or coleslaw also complements the dish nicely.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
