Honey Spice Baked Wings are a delicious, slightly sweet, and spicy take on traditional chicken wings. Baking them in the oven offers a healthier alternative to frying without sacrificing flavor or texture. The honey in the marinade caramelizes in the oven, creating a beautifully sticky and golden exterior, while the spices add a warm depth that makes these wings irresistible. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
For the Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed and cut into drumettes and flats
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste

- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
