Ingredients
For the Chicken
1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken wings
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (optional, for a thicker sauce)
For Garnish
Chopped fresh parsley
Sesame seeds (optional)
Step 1: Season the Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the wings with:
Vegetable oil
Paprika
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Black pepper
Salt
Dried oregano
Chili flakes (if using)
Toss until every wing is evenly coated.
Step 2: Bake
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, turning the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
While the wings are baking, combine the honey, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and butter in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently.
