Italian Honey Baked Chicken Wings

by

True story: I haven’t always been such a great cook. Now I thought  I was; I have always loved being in the kitchen and trying new recipes but it took awhile for me to start creating *REALLY GOOD* recipes on my own. My husband endured the OK recipes and his patience paid off– I think he has it pretty good now. These Italian Honey Baked Chicken Wings were something he actually requested I make for him back in college. He literally said, “I really like chicken wings with Italian seasoning and honey. Can you make those?” Well of course I can. They became a weekly staple.

After you taste these Italian Honey Baked Chicken Wings, you will want to make them weekly as well. I am a huge fan of my air fryer, but honestly, these wings turn out better in the oven!

The key to getting crispy chicken wings in the oven is:

  1. a high oven temperature
  2. using the right amount of oil (not too much!)
  3. parchment paper lined baking sheet
  4. spacing the wings out on the baking sheet so they crisp up as opposed to steam.

These 5 ingredient Italian Honey Baked Chicken Wings are ridiculously simple but always delicious. These wings are seasoned with Italian seasonings, baked to crispy perfection and tossed with honey at the end for a little added sweetness!

Description

These 5 ingredient chicken wings are ridiculously simple but always delicious and always a crowd pleaser. These wings are baked to crispy perfection and tossed with honey at the end for a little added sweetness!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (Optional)
  • 1 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
  2. Line a LARGE baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the avocado oil, salt+ pepper, Italian seasoning, and additional parsley.
  4. Place the wings on the lined baking sheet, making sure they have ample space. 2 inches between each wing is ideal. The more you can space them out, the better. Use 2 baking sheets if necessary.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip.
  6. Bake for an addition 15 minutes. Drizzle with honey and shake the pan to coat the chicken.
  7. Bake for 3 additional minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and enjoy!

Notes

*The parchment paper is KEY— If you don’t line the pan, it can leave a huge mess. If you use foil, you lose some of the crispy skin when you go to flip the chicken. Use parchment paper!
