Enjoy oven-baked honey BBQ wings with garlic. Crispy without frying, glazed in smoky-sweet sauce, and bursting with flavour, these wings make the perfect dinner or party snack. Easy to prepare and irresistibly sticky, they’re a must-try for fans of crunchy, saucy chicken wings.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (fan 200°C). Line a large baking tray with foil and place a wire rack over it.
Pat the chicken wings dry with kitchen paper — the drier they are, the crispier they’ll become. In a large bowl, toss the wings with cornflour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange them on the rack in a single layer and bake for 45 minutes, turning halfway, until deeply golden and crisp.
While the wings bake, heat olive oil in a small pan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook gently until fragrant, about two minutes. Stir in the BBQ sauce and honey, letting it bubble for a few minutes until thickened.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them into a large bowl, pour over the garlic-honey sauce, and toss well so every piece is coated. Place them back on the tray for 5–7 minutes to set the glaze before serving hot.
