Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 12-14 whole chicken wings or 24 party wings (wingette and drumette separated)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Thinly sliced green onion for garnish
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1 orange, juiced (about 1/3 cup fresh orange juice)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook the sauce for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
- Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry and season them evenly with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken Wings: Place the seasoned wings on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. The wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and have a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
- Coat Wings with Sauce: Remove the grilled wings from the heat. Toss or brush them thoroughly with the prepared honey garlic sauce to coat evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the coated wings with thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, add wood chips to your grill.
- You can substitute chicken wings with drumsticks or boneless wings if preferred.
- If you don’t have a grill, wings can be baked or broiled in the oven as alternatives.
- Adjust the amount of honey depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Ensure wings are cooked thoroughly to avoid any foodborne illnesses.
