Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 lbs Chicken Wings
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (optional but helps moisture)
• 1 tbsp Honey or Brown Sugar (optional for browning)

Method

 

1. Prep the wings. Pat wings dry, then toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, soy sauce, and honey.
2. Low bake for juiciness. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 30 minutes. This slow start keeps the meat tender.
3. Crisp them up. Increase heat to 425°F (220°C) and bake 15–20 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.
4. Rest. Let wings rest 5 minutes so juices settle.
5. For next‑day moisture. Store in an airtight container while still slightly warm (not hot). Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.
