How do you cook these chicken wings?

In this recipe, we say to cook the honey mustard chicken wings in the oven and make the honey mustard sauce on the stovetop.

Once you have cooked the wings and coated them in the sauce, you can either choose to serve them immediately or place the sauced-up wings under the broiler.

If you would prefer to cook your chicken wings another way, such as in the air fryer, deep fryer, or on the grill, you can still do that but you’ll need to look elsewhere for the instructions.

Why broil the wings after coating them in sauce?

Some people prefer to broil the wings to crisp them up a bit, thicken the sauce a tad, and/or simply heat up the sauce.

If you really want wings with a nice crispy skin, however, you’re going to want to broil them BEFORE coating them in sauce (and then maybe broil them a bit more after, too). But, there’s no wrong choice here – do what feels right and keep playing with it until you figure out your preferences!

Honey Mustard Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients:

Wings

  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 F. 

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Add chicken wings to the baking sheet in a single layer, not touching or overcrowding. Season wings with salt and pepper, then place in the oven.

Bake until the skin is crispy, approximately 45 – 50 minutes. 

About 20 minutes before the wings are done, add garlic and butter to a saucepan and heat over medium high heat until garlic becomes translucent.

Reduce heat to low and add honey and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine. Simmer for a few minutes, until the honey dissolves completely.

Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce, if using. 

Add the cooked wings to a glass bowl and pour honey-mustard mixture over them. Toss until coated and either serve immediately, or place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) and place under broiler for a couple minutes, until brown and bubbly. 

Serve with creamy red potato salad or your favorite side dishes.
