Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken wings tips removed and joints separated
- 3 tbsp Honey runny
- 150 g BBQ Sauce homemade or good-quality shop-bought
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic finely grated
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper freshly cracked
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Line a large baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top. This helps the wings cook evenly and keeps them from stewing in their juices.
- Toss the wings in a bowl with the oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until they’re evenly coated, then spread them across the rack in a single layer. Bake for 40 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp around the edges.
- While the wings are in the oven, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently for five minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Once the wings are cooked, brush them generously with the sauce and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes so the glaze bakes on and becomes sticky.
- Let them cool slightly before packing them into a container — the glaze will firm up a bit more as they rest, making them perfect for transport.
