Ginger Honey Glazed Baked Wings
Put honey on anything and be prepared to eat a whole bunch of it. In this case you can eat a ton of wings! How lucky are you?! Super! because this recipe is baked, not fried, not messy and absolutely, insanely delicious!
I like my wings to be on the small side but not super picky about it, just a preference. Why? For one, they will cook so much faster and also I find them to hold alot more flavor. My local Asian market has the best wings because they are the perfect size.
I highly recommend letting any seasoned protein, in this case, these wings to sit in the fridge and marinade for at least 2 hours and if you can marinade overnight, it will always taste even better.
I also like to bake wings so that they are super moist, and how is that? Low and slow… Crank the heat at the very end to get that beautiful gold color on top. I feel like when you bake them on high heat, they are much drier. So this is something to take into account.
Can I use this Glaze to roast a chicken?
Absolutely! You can butterfly a chicken and roast it whole. You can also buy chicken legs, thighs and roast them. Make some rice, veggies, salad and you have a full on dinner.
I can also see this glaze going really well with very thinly cut beef that you place on a skewer and lightly grill.
Honestly, so many options!
