- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Honey Garlic Glaze:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, if desired.

Tips for Cooking
- Crispy Wings: For extra crispy wings, make sure to pat them dry thoroughly before baking, and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. If using an air fryer, don’t overlap the wings.
- Adjust the Glaze: If you prefer a spicier glaze, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a small amount of sriracha for a kick.
- Alternative Cooking Method: If you prefer grilling, cook the wings over medium heat, basting with the glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.
