These Crispy Honey Garlic Baked Chicken Wings offer a shatteringly crisp exterior and juicy interior, coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory glaze. Ready in under 45 minutes, this reliable recipe uses a double-coating technique with cornstarch to ensure maximum crunch without deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chicken wings (wingettes and drumettes)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium or gluten-free tamari)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Pat chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss wings with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Sprinkle cornstarch over the wings and toss until lightly and evenly coated. Shake off any excess clumps.
  5. Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip wings carefully.
  7. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy.
  8. While wings bake, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and chili flakes in a small bowl.
  9. Warm the glaze slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to loosen it.
  10. Remove crispy wings from the oven and immediately transfer to a large clean bowl.
  11. Pour warm glaze over hot wings and toss gently until evenly coated.
  12. Serve immediately while still crisp.

Notes

Ensure wings are completely dry before coating to achieve maximum crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan, as wings will steam instead of bake. If using frozen wings, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry. The cornstarch coating is essential for the crunchy texture; do not substitute with flour.
