Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Crispy fried chicken wings coated in a sticky honey garlic glaze with a hint of heat. Sweet, savory, and ultra-satisfying—perfect for parties, game day, or a flavorful indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Wings:
  • 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, split and tips removed
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Oil for deep frying
  • For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
  • Optional Garnish:
  • Chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with salt, pepper, cornstarch, and flour until well coated.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry wings in batches for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, vinegar, and chili flakes. Simmer over medium heat for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute more.
  5. Toss hot wings in the sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Double fry wings for extra crispiness—fry once, rest, then fry again for 2–3 minutes.
  • For a spicier kick, add more chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the glaze.
  • Use a thermometer to maintain consistent frying temperature.
  • Serve with ranch, blue cheese dip, or extra honey garlic sauce on the side.
