Chicken Wings are feature quite often on my blog. You can play around with different marinades or spice rubs and best of all they are quite cheap to buy. I like to cook chicken wings in my turbo oven. Turbo ovens are so much easier to clean than ovens. But for this recipe, I used the oven. My preferred method is to bake the chicken wings in the marinade for 1 hour and then place them on a wire rack in the baking dish for a further 10 minutes to dry them out. Make sure you have a wire rack that fits inside your baking dish or tray.

Honey Garlic Chicken Wings
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings
- Diet: Omnivore
Description
These irresistibly sticky and sweet oven-baked wings are marinated in a simple honey-garlic glaze, making them the perfect crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 kgs (4.4 lbs) chicken wings
- 1/3 cup (79ml) raw or organic honey
- 1/4 cup (59ml) lemon juice
- 1/4 cup (59ml) water
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) ground ginger
Instructions
- Add honey, lemon juice, water, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder and ginger to a small pot on medium-high heat. Once it starts to simmer, turn the temperature down to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Place chicken wings in a baking dish and pour the cooled marinade over the top. Place in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 2 hours, making sure you stir the chicken wings in the marinade a few times.
- Pre-heat oven to 200°F (93°C).
- Bake chicken wings (in the marinade) for 60 minutes, turning once. If you are after drier wings, then place on a wire rack set in a baking tray (or pan) for a further 10 minutes, 5 minutes each side.
Notes
- Ensure the marinade cools completely before pouring it over the chicken wings.
- Marinating the chicken wings overnight is recommended for the best flavor, but at least 2 hours is necessary.
- If you prefer drier wings, use a wire rack set in a baking tray for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I achieve extra crispiness on my honey garlic chicken wings?
After marinating, bake the wings for 1 hour and then place them on a wire rack in the baking dish for an additional 10 minutes to dry them out.
Can I use a turbo oven instead of a regular oven for this recipe?
While this recipe specifically uses a regular oven, you can use a turbo oven, but cooking times may vary, so monitor the wings closely.
What should I do if my honey is crystallized?
You can gently warm the honey in a water bath or microwave it for a few seconds to liquefy it before mixing it into the marinade.
