Honey Chicken Wings

Honey Sweet With a Touch of Ginger

Honey Chicken Wings are a popular game time snack for our football crazed friends. The blend of honey, lime and ginger flavors create a delicious coating for these honey oven baked wings. From our experience, using fresh grated ginger makes a big difference. You can use powdered ginger but it won't have the same intense ginger flavor.

We like to offer these as an alternative to hot wings since some of our guests can't stand the heat. Although, I like to have a change from the hot stuff once in a while.

You will need to plan for them to marinate for at least two hours before baking. You can marinate them in a large bowl or ziploc bags. Just remember to keep the marinade for later use. Since it has been in contact with raw chicken, it will need to be boiled so you can use it safely.

The wings will be put into the oven to broil until they get to be a golden brown. Then they will finish cooking in a baking dish with the honey marinade.

cutting chicken wing

Grab both ends of the wing and bend it open until it's straight. This will help you locate the area to cut. Cut the wing in half by placing your knife into the socket that connects the leg and wing. This will take a bit of practice. You will know you have the right spot when it cuts through easily. If it is too hard to cut then you haven't found the right spot. Just keep moving the knife around until you get it.
