This baked honey garlic chicken wings recipe is a healthier version of the ever popular honey garlic chicken wings. It was taken from a book of compiled recipes to celebrate the 25th year anniversary of the elementary school where my kids used to go to. The original recipe calls for baking the wings in the honey garlic sauce for one hour and serving them with the sauce poured over. I found that baking the chicken wings a second time without the sauce gives it a better glaze and a more appealing look.
This dish is so easy to make. One of the reasons I love making this so much is the fact that I don’t have to do any frying. The wings are coated in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, garlic powder and ketchup (yes, ketchup). Then it is baked fully in the oven. The result is healthier and delicious wings.

These baked honey garlic chicken wings are a healthy alternative to fried honey garlic chicken wings. Honey, soy sauce and ketchup are used as marinade.

Wings look delish! Thanks for the recipe, Lisa!
Wondering if I can marinade over night?
Can I also use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder?
Thank you. 🙂

  Hi Maggie,
  It should be okay to marinate the wings overnight. Yes, you can use fresh minced garlic. Hope these help!

I made two pans of these wings for our pot luck last night and they were gone long before all tables had a chance to get near the food.

Hi! Would you be able to use this sauce with ribs? Beef/pork?

  Hi Lucianna,
  I am pretty sure the honey garlic sauce can be used with ribs, beef or pork. Adjust cooking time, as needed.

Great recipe! As I didn’t have garlic powder, I used fresh garlic instead, chopped finely. I added a tablespoon of sesame oil.
Wow, my sons love the chicken and asked me to cook again.

Im about to make them soon so I am curious if I have to put anything over top as a shield when I bake it in the casserole dish ? Does it over flow ?

  No, you don’t need to cover the casserole when you bake the wings with the marinade. Just make sure you use a deep casserole dish and place the casserole dish on a baking sheet before you place them in the oven.

Did I interpret it correctly inntour reply that that the leftover marinade should be baked in the oven too? I’m a casserole dish I suppose, while the wings are cooking?

I have these in The oven now…. You don’t really use the sauce for dipping that you have taken the raw chicken out of do you?? The sauce seemed real watery, but it sure smells good! I’m anxious to taste them!

  Hi Marla, No, do not use the marinade if you did not bake it with the chicken wings. The marinade should have been included and baked along with the chicken wings. I hope that helps!

Could you be more specific when you talk about baking them for a second time? Do you bake them for another hour? Do you move them to another pan without the marinade?

  Hi April, The second time you bake it, you only bake it for 5 minutes on each side. You never bake it with marinade because the wings will be on a rack (see picture). I hope that helps!

I recently tried this recipe again, but decided to bake the drumsticks at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I used twelve drumsticks, instead of eight, and added some onions (cut into large pieces). The dish was delicious, and the onions became very caramelized!
