Here’s a simple, flavorful recipe for Honey Butter Chicken Wings — crispy, sweet, and buttery!
🍗 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings, split at the joints
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: cayenne or smoked paprika for a little heat
🥄 Instructions
1. Prepare the Wings
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels — helps them crisp up.
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
2. Bake the Wings
- Place wings on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment.
- Bake 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
3. Make the Honey Butter Sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add honey and garlic, stirring until smooth. Cook 1–2 minutes, careful not to burn the honey.
4. Toss and Serve
- Place baked wings in a large bowl.
- Pour honey butter sauce over wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or veggies.
✅ Tips
- For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes after baking.
- Can also air-fry wings at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes for faster cooking.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley on top for garnish.
