ADVOCATE-TESTED RECIPE
Honey Wings
Yields 4 servings. Recipe is by Teresa B. Day.
½ small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup honey
¼ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds chicken wings
1. Heat oven to 425 F. Line a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil.
2. Mince onion and garlic in a food processor.
3. In a medium saucepan, stir together honey, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, butter, mustard powder and black pepper over medium heat. Simmer about 5 minutes.
4. Rinse and pat chicken dry. Place wings in an even layer onto the baking pan; pour sauce over the wings and brush to coat both sides.
5. Bake the chicken wings, turning occasionally, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes or until meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.
6. Serve warm.
