Candied Chicken Wings– A Healthier Wing

candied chicken wings dairy-free nut-free bakedMy boys have a thing for “chicken on the bone.” Matthew routinely asks for it, and couldn’t care less where it comes from. Thanks to my best friend, I have a killer candied chicken wings recipe. My four year old eats more of these than his daddy does, and our 1 year old eats more than I do. They’re sweet and sticky and completely addictive. Baking them hot and long makes them caramelize so you get that satisfying crunch that you want from a wing, without all the grease.

I try to feed my family fairly healthy meals but it’s all about balance for us. These candied chicken wings are baked, not fried, and have only a few ingredients– all of which I can pronounce and use regularly in various recipes. We would eat these every night if they weren’t as much of a treat as they are! Put them with some colorful veggies, a fresh salad, or roasted broccoli with lemon essential oil, and you’ll have a balanced meal that’s sure to please your entire family.

If you like this recipe, make sure you check out my Pinterest boards for a TON more yummy, healthy, family-pleasing recipes.

Candied Chicken Wings

Ingredients

3 lbs chicken wings, cleaned and separated

1/2 c honey

1/4 c soy sauce

4 T brown sugar

1 clove garlic

1/2 c ketchup

Instructions
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400* and prep a 9 x 13″ pan with double-foil-lined.
  2. Place your pat-dried wings into the pan in as close to a single layer as you can.
  3. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together and pour over the wings.
  4. Spoon the sauce over the wings, ensuring the wings are covered in sauce.
  5. Put the pan in the oven, uncovered, for 60 minutes. Every 15 minutes, baste the soon-to-be candied chicken wings in the sauce from the pan, without flipping them over (otherwise you won’t get that yummy caramelization).
