Description
A simple yet flavorful chicken wing recipe enhanced with garlic, honey, and butter, perfect for weeknight meals or game day snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats if not already)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or another neutral oil)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon minced)
- 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence (or Italian seasoning + a pinch of lavender)
- 1/8 cup honey (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, garlic powder, salt, and minced garlic. Toss the wings in the mixture.
- Let the wings sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Arrange wings in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C); broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- While wings are baking, melt butter in a saucepan, add honey and herbes de Provence, and keep warm.
- Transfer the baked wings to a bowl and drizzle the honey-herb butter over them, tossing gently to coat.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
For crispier wings, pat them dry before seasoning. Space them out on the baking sheet to ensure browning. If glazing softens the wings, re-crisp them at 425°F for 3-5 minutes.
