Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb chicken wings (drumettes and flats, separated)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the wings. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. This helps the glaze stick and the skin crisp up.
- Make the glaze. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until fully blended.
- Marinate. Add the wings to the bowl, tossing to coat each piece evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat the grill. Heat your grill to medium‑high (about 375–400 °F). If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn down to a steady heat.
- Grill the wings. Place the wings on the grill, turning every 4–5 minutes. Cook for 20–25 minutes total, until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F and the skin is nicely charred.
- Finish. While the wings are still hot, drizzle a little extra glaze over them for a glossy finish. Sprinkle chopped parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve. Let the wings rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or a simple side salad.
Notes
- Use a wire rack on a baking sheet if you’re oven‑baking; this allows air to circulate and keeps the wings crispy.
- For extra crunch, pat the wings dry again right before grilling.
- Keep the glaze on hand for a quick sauce—simply simmer the leftover glaze for a minute to thicken.
- Adjust cayenne to your heat preference; you can also add a dash of hot sauce for a different kick.
