Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then place them in a large bowl.
  3. Toss the wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and cooked through.
  5. While the wings bake, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring often.
  7. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water. Pour it into the sauce and stir until the glaze thickens.
  9. For the garlic rice, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  10. Add the cooked rice and salt, then stir until the rice is warmed through and lightly coated in the garlic butter.
  11. Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl and toss with the sticky honey garlic sauce until fully coated.
  12. Serve the glazed chicken wings hot with the garlic rice on the side.

Notes

  • You can use chicken drumettes or whole wings, depending on your preference.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the wings for 1 to 2 minutes after baking.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes to control the spiciness.
