Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

INGREDIENTS

BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

1. 2 lb chicken wings
2. 1 tsp olive oil
3. 1 tsp sea salt
4. 1 pinch black pepper to taste

HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

1. 1/2 cup honey
2. 2 tbsp soy sauce
3. 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
4. 1 tbsp garlic minced
5. 1/2 tsp chili powder optional
6. fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.
• In a large bowl, add raw chicken wings. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Use a pair of tongs or a spatula to gently toss the chicken wings to coat.
• Arrange chicken wings in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake chicken wings for 40 minutes or until juices run clear, turning them half way through.

FOR THE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili powder (optional) to a rapid boil. Allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until sauce is reduced by 1/2.
• Remove saucepan from heat. Cover and set aside.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

• Working quickly, place baked chicken wings in a bowl, then pour prepared honey garlic glaze on top. This step works best if both the chicken and the sauce are hot. Use a spatula to toss the chicken wings until they are coated in the glaze. Note: It's okay if the glaze is thick, but it should pour easily. If it doesn't, microwave the glaze for 30 seconds at a time until it's liquid again, then quickly pour over the chicken wings.
• Serve honey garlic chicken wings immediately with chopped cilantro as garnish (optional).
