Marinated and then baked until crispy, these sweet and savory garlic and honey wings are perfect for your next game day.
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.

- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- 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.
