These 5 ingredient Honey Garlic Chicken Wings are perfect for dinner, lunch, parties or even a snack! They’re sticky, sweet and very easy to prepare.
Baby, it’s cold inside. I truly believed that when I was last ranting about winter, we were done. It’s March.
Temperatures are supposed to be in the mid-50s. Instead, today was well below freezing. We were once again pummeled by snow on Sunday.
Enough already, winter! I do not believe in you anymore, therefore you do not exist.
I will heat up my kitchen to 425 degrees fahrenheit and pretend it’s downright steamy outside. Our kitchen windows will fog up in protest and that’s good. I will no longer be able to see your salty white destruction outside.
I will roast honey garlic chicken wings slathered in olive oil and lemon until they sizzle and their skins are crisp and brown from the heat of the oven.
And then I will eat them while they’re hot! And then… I don’t even know what I’m talking about, winter. Just go away already.
Honey Garlic Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- 2 heads garlic
- 1 2/3 cups extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- juice from 2 lemons (approximately 1/4 cup)
- 3-4 pounds chicken wings (approximately 35-40 wings)
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Separate the garlic cloves without removing their skins. Place them in a pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Boil the cloves for 10 minutes, then drain and allow to cool.
- Squeeze the cloves out of the skin into a food processor and pulse them several times. Then turn the machine on and pour in the olive oil, honey and lemon juice.
- Place the wings in a large, sealable plastic bag and pour in the mixture. Seal and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the wings (skin side up) and liquid in a large roasting pan or baking sheet with raised sides. Roast for 45-60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes, until the meat is cooked and the skin is brown and crunchy.
- Remove the wings from the pan with tongs and place on a serving tray. Salt them generously before serving.

This looks so good, Jennifer! Haha, I’m ready for warm weather, too – we’ve all become attached to the dishwasher with it’s warm air … same story as the oven!
Honey garlic is always a go to combo! These look so good!
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum….definitely need to give this a try. I just love getting your email updates and getting new recipes to try. Thanks!
I haven’t made wings in for ever and baking it would be the only way I would do this. I love your photography!
Honey and wings are the best! These would be delicious with you recent aioli post, I’d be lathering them in those delicious sauces you made.
I just love ideas this simple, Jennifer. And I know it goes without saying that your photos are beautiful, but I’d still like to say it anyhow! Don’t worry, Spring will be here soon. At least most of you in the US get a decent summer, unlike in the UK where it might not be as cold in the winter but a nice summer isn’t always guaranteed!
That is the one saving grace of winter – being able to turn on the oven and feel like at least it’s adding to the warmth of the house, rather than making the air conditioner work harder, like it does in summer!
Oh yes, drooling over these beauties :) honey & garlic is a perfect combination!
Love the photos of these wings, not to mention they sound divine. Pinned.
Sounds delicious but I don’t care for wings. I’ll have to try this on chicken breast.
Those are some seriously gorgeous wings, Jen! I completely agree about the weather, by the way!
WHAT! I’m so completely sold on these, it’s not even funny. Who doesn’t love them a chicken wang? Doin’ it. Thanks for sharing!
Nom!
what an amazing combination of flavours!
Found dinner for tomorrow night… YUM…!!!!
