Ingredients
Instructions
- Place cleaned, disjointed wings in a foil-lined 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Salt and pepper wings to taste.
- Sprinkle with paprika.
- Mix honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, crushed garlic, and catsup in a bowl.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the wings.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the wings in the sauce for a few hours or overnight before baking. If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute it with white sugar and a splash of molasses. Adjust the amount of honey if you prefer a less sweet sauce, or use agave syrup for a vegan alternative.
Serving Suggestions
These tasty wings are perfect as a party appetizer or a main dish. Serve them alongside Layered Cole Slaw for a refreshing crunch or pair with a side of fries or rice. For a complete meal, consider adding a vibrant salad, such as Apple Cauliflower Salad, to balance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover wings can be stored 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 to ensure they are heated through while maintaining their crispiness. You can also microwave them, but they may lose some texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen wings, but it's best to thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before cooking. This ensures even cooking and better absorption of flavors from the sauce.
How can I make these wings spicier?
To add heat, you can include red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce in the sauce mixture. Adjust the amount according to your spice preference for a personalized kick.
Can I grill these wings instead of baking?
Absolutely! You can grill these wings for a smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high and cook the wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning and basting with the sauce until caramelized and cooked through.
