  • Choose Your Cooking Method
    There are two popular cooking methods for Honey Garlic Chicken Wings: baking and frying. Choose the method that best suits your preferences.
  • Baking:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.If desired, lightly dust the wings with cornstarch for added crispiness.Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even browning.
  • Frying:
    In a deep skillet or pot, heat enough cooking oil to submerge the chicken wings. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).Carefully add a few wings to the hot oil using tongs, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.Fry the wings for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally to ensure uniform cooking.Use a slotted spoon to remove the wings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  • Glaze the Wings
    In a small saucepan, warm up a small portion of the leftover marinade over low heat. This will be used as a glaze for the cooked wings.
  • Coat the Wings
    Toss the freshly cooked wings in the warmed marinade glaze. Ensure that each wing is evenly coated with the delectable honey garlic mixture.
  • Serve and Enjoy
    Transfer the glazed Honey Garlic Chicken Wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. Serve the wings while they're still hot and crispy.
