These Zesty Glazed Chicken Wings are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish, perfect for gatherings or a satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the glaze.
Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth glaze.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Drying the wings helps the glaze adhere better and promotes crispiness.
Brush the glaze generously over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well coated.
Reserve some glaze for basting during baking for extra flavor.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, flip the wings and baste with additional glaze. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes until crispy.
Keep an eye on the wings during the final minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Zesty Glazed Chicken Wings!
Letting the wings rest allows the juices to redistribute, enhancing flavor.
