Tyler'S Tempting Honey-Sesame Wings
Sweet and savory honey-sesame chicken wings with a tangy mustard glaze, perfect for gatherings or as a flavorful appetizer for any occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Clean the chicken wings and discard the tips.
- Combine honey, Dijon mustard, melted butter, lemon juice, curry powder, minced garlic, and pepper in a large bowl or pan.
- Marinate the wings in the honey-Dijon mixture for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally to ensure they are well covered.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast sesame seeds for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent burning.
- Dip the marinated chicken wings into the toasted sesame seeds to coat them evenly.
- Broil the wings for about 20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and browning.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or ginger to the marinade. If you're short on time, marinating for 30 minutes is better than not marinating at all. You can substitute the chicken wings with chicken drumsticks for a similar taste. For a healthier option, bake instead of broiling to reduce fat while still achieving a delicious crispiness. These wings also pair well with classic American recipes like macaroni and cheese soup.
Serving Suggestions
These honey-sesame wings are perfect as an appetizer or main dish. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or with vegetable sticks and dip for a great contrast. They also pair beautifully with Chicken And Honey for a flavorful meal. Consider garnishing with chopped green onions or additional sesame seeds for an appealing presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the wings soggy. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these wings in advance?
Yes, you can marinate the wings up to 24 hours in advance. Just ensure they are stored in the refrigerator. When you're ready to cook, simply proceed with the recipe as directed. This allows the flavors to intensify, resulting in even more delicious wings.
What can I use instead of Dijon mustard?
If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard or whole grain mustard as a substitute. Each will impart a slightly different flavor, but they will still work well in the marinade. Additionally, you could use a bit of honey mustard for a sweeter twist.
Can I grill these wings instead of broiling?
Absolutely! Grilling the wings can add a wonderful smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. Just watch them closely to prevent burning!
