Honey Garlic Turkey Wings Recipe
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 4–6 turkey wings
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease, or use a baking dish.
2. Make the honey garlic sauce
- In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and paprika/chili flakes if using.
3. Prepare the turkey wings
- Pat wings dry with paper towels.
- Place them in a single layer on the baking sheet or dish.
- Brush or pour half of the honey garlic sauce over the wings.
4. Bake
- Cover loosely with foil and bake 40 minutes.
- Remove foil, baste with remaining sauce, and bake another 20–25 minutes until wings are cooked through and nicely caramelized.
- Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe poultry.
5. Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Tips & Variations
- Crispier wings: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking to get a caramelized crust.
- Slow cooker option: Cook wings on low for 4–5 hours with the sauce for tender, fall-off-the-bone wings.
- Spicy twist: Add sriracha or chili paste to the honey garlic sauce.
- Make-ahead: Marinate wings in the sauce for 2–4 hours for extra flavor.
