Ingredients:

• 3 pounds chicken wings, cut into wingettes and drumettes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup honey
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Oven Setup: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
3. Create the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ketchup, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper until well combined and smooth.
4. First Glazing Stage: Brush the wings generously with about one-third of the honey glaze mixture. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
5. Second Glazing Stage: Remove the wings from the oven and carefully brush them with another third of the glaze. Flip each wing over and brush the other side with the remaining glaze.
6. Final Cooking: Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until they're thoroughly cooked and the glaze has caramelized to a beautiful sticky finish.
7. Rest and Serve: Allow the wings to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.

Ready to Relish!

Storage Solutions:
