Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds chicken wing flats and drumettes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- freshly black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix cornstarch, cream of tartar, garlic powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken wings to the dry mixture and coat them evenly.
- Place the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through until wings are golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix honey, white wine vinegar, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard to create the sauce.
- Once the wings are done, toss them in the honey mustard sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Dry the wings thoroughly: Removing excess moisture helps the skin become crispier.
- Avoid overcrowding: Arrange the wings in a single layer to encourage even cooking.
- Check doneness: Use a meat thermometer to confirm the thickest part of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
- Extra crispiness: Bake the wings on a wire rack so hot air circulates around them.
- Adjust sweetness: Add extra honey to taste or a little more vinegar for additional tanginess.
- Make them spicy: Add cayenne pepper or a little hot sauce to the seasoning or glaze.
- Air fryer option: Cook in batches at approximately 380°F (193°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through and checking for doneness.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Freeze cooked wings for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven until hot.
- Food safety: If the wings are tossed in sauce after cooking, reserve some fresh sauce for dipping rather than reusing sauce that has contacted raw chicken.
