Simple chicken wings recipe delivers great flavor!
This is a no fuss recipe: small effort – big reward! The bulk of the preparation is just cutting the chicken wings into pieces and with a little technique that is easily done. Just grab the two main parts of the wing and push to invert the joint. Now you’ll be able to see/feel where the edges of the bones meet at the joint. Simply take a Chef’s knife and place it between the bones in the joint and bear down and cut through. The wing tip can be cut through just past where it begins and discarded.
Place your wing portions in a large mixing bowl. Mix together the oil, honey and spices. Pour the mixture over the wings and toss until your chicken wings are well coated with all of the mixture. Bake on a rack in a 450-degree oven, first with the skin side down for 20 minutes, and then flipped to skin-side up for another 10-20 minutes until well browned. Serve immediately. If you like you can sprinkle the chicken wings with a little chopped green onion tops for a pretty presentation.
