Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 4 pounds chicken wing sections (fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • Parsley, for garnish

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a wire rack over a sheet pan and spray it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Wings: Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the chicken wings, removing as much moisture as possible for maximum crispiness.
  3. Mix Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, and cracked pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Coat Wings: Place the dried chicken wings into a large bowl, sprinkle the seasoning mixture over, and toss the wings well to ensure they are fully coated.
  5. Bake Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack skin side up in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each wing and bake an additional 20 minutes until cooked through and skin is crispy.
  6. Make Honey Mustard Sauce: While the wings bake, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, white distilled vinegar, and cracked pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Toss Wings: Remove the wings from the oven, toss them with half of the prepared honey mustard sauce, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
  8. Serve: Garnish the wings with chopped parsley and serve with the remaining honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Drying the wings thoroughly before baking is crucial for crispiness.
  • Aluminum-free baking powder helps to create a crispy texture without altering the flavor.
  • You can adjust the amount of honey in the sauce for a sweeter or less sweet glaze.
  • Use fresh parsley for a vibrant garnish and added freshness.
  • Leftover honey mustard sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
