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 (approximately 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 the fresh orange juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning. Set the sauce aside once thickened.
- Grill the Chicken Wings: Season the separated chicken wings generously with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the wings for 12 to 15 minutes, turning them as needed to ensure even cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, indicating they are fully cooked and juicy.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the cooked wings from the grill and immediately toss them in the prepared honey garlic sauce until well-coated. Plate the wings and garnish with thinly sliced green onions for added freshness and color. Serve the wings hot for best flavor and enjoyment.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey according to your taste.
- Ensure the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- To prevent flare-ups on the grill, keep wings at medium heat and move them around as needed.
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor impact in the sauce.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce while cooking.
