Instructions

1

Clean wings, remove tips, and pat completely dry with paper towels.

Tip: Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Wet skin steams instead of roasting.
2

Mix marinade: honey, mustard, garlic, soy sauce, oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper.

Tip: Mustard acts as an emulsifier, binding the oil and honey.
3

Toss wings in marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 mins.

4

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange wings on sheet (reserve marinade).

Tip: Leave space for air to circulate.
5

Bake 20 mins. Flip, brush with reserved marinade, bake another 15-20 mins until sticky and brown.

Tip: Layering the glaze builds a thick, flavorful coating.
6

Garnish with parsley and serve with bread.

Recipe FAQ

Why did they burn?
Honey burns fast. If browning too quickly, tent with foil or lower heat, then broil at the very end.
