Instructions

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.

Place the honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a large mixing bowl. Grate or press the garlic cloves into the mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

Place the chicken wings in the mixing bowl. Using a rubber spatula, toss the wings to coat in the honey-garlic glaze.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 1-12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Remove the marinated chicken wings from the refrigerator.

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.

Use a pair of kitchen tongs to lift each chicken wing from the bowl, allowing the excess marinade to drip off, and transfer to the foil-covered wire rack. Do not discard the leftover marinade.

Bake the chicken wings on middle rack of oven until browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes.

Pour the leftover marinade into a small skillet set over medium heat. Bring the marinade to a boil, whisking constantly.

Boil the marinade, whisking occasionally, until it is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. The marinade will thicken slightly as it cools.

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

Brush the tops of the chicken wings with the marinade. Transfer the chicken wings to a plate and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Wings Dry for Maximum Crispiness 🔥
Before marinating, thoroughly pat chicken wings with paper towels to remove surface moisture, which allows the skin to crisp up beautifully in the oven rather than steam.
Marinate in a Sealed Bag for Even Coating ✨
Use a gallon-sized zip-lock bag for marinating—this ensures the honey-garlic sauce coats every wing evenly and maximizes flavor absorption during the 12-hour marinating period.
Arrange Wings on a Wire Rack 🛫
Place wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow heat circulation underneath, creating crispier skin on all sides rather than steaming them against the pan.
Brush Sauce in Final 5 Minutes 🍯
Reserve some fresh honey-garlic sauce and brush it on wings during the last 5 minutes of baking to create a glossy, caramelized exterior without burning the garlic.
Rest Wings Before Serving for Optimal Texture 🎯
Let baked wings rest for 3-5 minutes after removing from the oven so the sauce sets and the skin stays crispy rather than becoming soggy from residual heat.
