Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 12-14 whole chicken wings or 24 party wings, wingette and drumette separated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Thinly sliced green onion for garnish
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1 orange, juiced (about 1/3 cup orange juice)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook this sauce for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once thickened, set the sauce aside.
- Season and Grill Wings: Season the separated chicken wings with salt and pepper to your preference. Preheat your grill to medium heat and brush the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the wings for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the wings are fully cooked.
- Coat and Garnish: Remove the wings from the grill and immediately toss or brush them with the prepared honey garlic sauce. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve the wings hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- For a spicier kick, add some chili flakes or hot sauce to the honey garlic sauce.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can broil the wings in the oven, turning them halfway through cooking.
- Use cornstarch in the sauce to achieve a nice glossy and thick texture.
- Brush grill grates with oil to prevent wings from sticking and tearing.
