Every once in awhile, I like making wings for dinner ~ they are easy to make and there is a million and one recipes for them. I’ve made this recipe a few times in the past and it’s a favorite or ours. I especially like it because it’s baked and not fried.
I use a bit less than one cup of honey ~ probably about 3/4 cups ~ but I usually don’t measure anything. I just dump everything in a bowl and mix.
The picture makes the wings look burnt but they weren’t at all.
I’ve had this recipe for so long that I don’t remember where I got it from ~ probably a community cookbook.
Caramelized Chicken Wings
3 pounds chicken wings ~ I use drumettes
2 tbsps olive oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsps ketchup
1 cup honey
1 clove garlic, minced ~ we like garlic so I use 2 or 3 depending on how big the cloves are
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375º.
Place chicken in a 9×13 baking pan.
Mix together all the rest of the ingredients and pour over the wings. Using tongs, turn the wings over so that all sides are covered.
Bake for 1 hour or until caramelized. I usually turn mine over at the 1/2 hour mark but you don’t have to.
Makes 6 servings.
Happy Cooking!

wow, this looks so yummy! this is somewhat similar to what I did for our lunch. But instead of using honey, I used apricot. http://www.savorythoughts.com/2012/03/hot-and-sweet-chicken.html
anyway, thank you for sharing this recipe. I always visit your blog. Lots of recipe! I’m inspired to make my own version.
I love it when when someone takes a recipe from here and makes it their own ~ that’s what cooking and sharing is all about!! Your recipe looks awesome. Thank you for commenting and I hope to see you here often 🙂
Nancy…I made these tonight for dinner. OMG! They are great. Everyone loved them. Thank you for always sharing the best recipes. –Kathie
They are yummy!!
We love wings too! I’d rather make them at home than go out and pay an arm & a leg for them. This sounds alot like how my mom made chicken wings. I’ll have to try this 🙂
Oh my god this looks heavenly. Do you find baking the wings in the oven gives them a nice crispiness? This is on my recipe to-do list and I love the way yours turned out. Thanks!
Whenever I make these I always think they are going to come out looking anemic but at the end of the hour, they always look great and have a crispy exterior. I hope you like them!!
These have the perfect amount of char to them…. they look great!
Thanks!!
