Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 to 1.5 pounds chicken wingettes and/or drumettes
Seasoning:
- 0.25 teaspoon (heaping) kosher salt
Sauce and Coating:
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey mustard (spicy or regular), plus more for dipping
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with foil, positioning a lightly greased cooling rack on top for optimal air circulation.
- Toss chicken wings with cooking spray and a sprinkle of salt, ensuring each piece is evenly coated and seasoned.
- Spread wings in a single layer on the rack, positioning skin-side up to promote crispy texture during initial roasting.
- Roast wings for 20 minutes until they develop a golden-brown exterior and start to crisp.
- Carefully flip each wing using tongs, then generously coat both sides with honey mustard glaze, creating an even, glossy layer.
- Return wings to the oven and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and develop a rich, sticky finish.
- Remove from oven and let wings rest for 2-3 minutes to allow glaze to set and flavors to intensify.
- Transfer to a serving platter and accompany with extra honey mustard sauce for dipping, providing a tangy complement to the sweet and spicy wings.
Notes
- Pat chicken wings completely dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin and better glaze adhesion.
- Use a wire rack while baking helps air circulate around wings, creating an even, crispy exterior without excess oil.
- For gluten-free option, replace traditional honey mustard with gluten-free mustard and check honey label.
- Adjust spice level by adding red pepper flakes or hot sauce to honey mustard mixture for those who enjoy extra heat.
