- Why did they burn?
- Honey burns fast. If browning too quickly, tent with foil or lower heat, then broil at the very end.
Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings
This recipe is all about the joy of sticky fingers. Honey caramelizes in the oven to create a shiny glaze, while mustard cuts through the sweetness with tangy heat. Simple chemistry creates irresistible flavor as sugar and protein react on the surface.

✓
Toss wings in marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 mins.
