  • Low Sodium Soy Sauce

How to Make Best Ever Sticky Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 10 minutes, until cooked through and slightly crispy.
  5. While wings are baking, prepare the sticky sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  6. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Remove wings from oven and pour the sticky sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your incredibly delicious sticky wings!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
