- 1 Tbsp Butter
- ½ Cup Honey
- 1 Tbsp Fresh minced Garlic or garlic paste
- 1 tsp Ginger paste (Or freshly grated ginger)

- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- ¼ tsp Sazon or Salt
- Honey Garlic Sauce Recipe:
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- ½ cup Honey

- 1 tsp Ginger paste

Note: Make adjustments to sauce as needed!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Clean & prep the wings. Cut or split the wings into Wingettes and Drummettes.
- Pat dry the wings with a paper towel. It’s important to make sure the wings are dry to get that crispy outside. Another option would be to leave the wings in the fridge uncovered for 30 minutes to a few hours to dry out.
- Next, season the wings with black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Sazon. (If you don’t have sazon, just use salt).
- Mix or coat the wings with the seasonings, and make sure the wings are evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet or pan with aluminum foil and place a wire rack (or cooling rack) on top. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the seasoned wings onto the rack & place the wings in the oven.
- Bake on the upper middle oven rack, turning halfway through cooking time.
- Note: The total cook time will vary. So, depending on the size of the wings- it may take 45 minutes or up to 1 hour.
- Bake the wings until they are crispy and browned. But make sure the wings are fully cooked before removing from the oven.
- Once the wings are done remove from the oven & allow the wings to rest while you prepare the honey garlic sauce. (Or you can leave them on a warmer setting for extra crispness - but keep an eye on them)
- Over medium to medium low heat, add some butter to a pot or skillet.
- Once the butter melts add the honey, soy sauce, ginger paste, and the minced garlic.
- Mix those ingredients into the butter and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is reduced/thickened. Do a taste test of your sauce & make any adjustments if needed.
- Toss the cooked wings into the honey garlic sauce. Make sure the wings are evenly coated.
- Serve with a side of French fries or your favorite wing dip. Enjoy!
