Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Cover the rack with another sheet of foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Use a knife to poke holes all over the foil.

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.

Season the chicken wings on both sides with salt and pepper.

Place the Dijon mustard, honey, and dried thyme in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

Place the chicken wings in the mixing bowl. Using a rubber spatula, toss the wings to coat evenly.

Arrange the chicken wings on the foil-covered roasting rack. Spoon any remaining honey-Dijon glaze over the wings.

Bake the chicken wings on middle rack of oven until browned and crisp, 45-50 minutes.

Check to see that wings are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the chicken wings to cool on the roasting rack for 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Wings Dry for Maximum Crispiness 🌬️
Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels before coating—moisture is the enemy of crispy skin, and this simple step dramatically improves texture and browning.
Arrange Wings on Elevated Racks 📍
Place wings on a wire rack set over your baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate underneath, creating crispy edges on all sides without flipping.
Whisk Honey and Mustard Thoroughly 🥄
Emulsify the honey and Dijon mustard together before coating to create a stable, glossy sauce that adheres better and won't separate during baking.
Baste Midway Through Baking 🍯
Brush the honey-mustard mixture halfway through cooking time to build layered flavor and ensure an even, caramelized glaze across all wings.
Finish Under the Broiler for Extra Caramelization 🔥
In the final 2 minutes, switch to broil setting to create a slightly charred, deeply caramelized exterior that enhances both sweetness and visual appeal.
