Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

Healthy Fact of the Day

Crispy Baked Chicken Wings provide the irresistible crunch of traditional wings without the deep frying. This recipe uses baking instead of frying, reducing the overall fat content. Paired with a flavorful glaze, these wings make for a tasty and healthier alternative.

Ingredients

 

For the Chicken Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split at joints, tips discarded
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

 

For the Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
  •  
  •  

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  3. In a bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  4. Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

  6. While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.

  7. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl.

  8. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

  10. Serve the Crispy Baked Chicken Wings immediately with extra glaze on the side for dipping.

 

Enjoy these delicious wings that strike the perfect balance between crispy and saucy!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Happy 4th of July — America Turns 250 Today and Restaurants Are Celebrating With You

Fourth of July celebrations are built around food, and that’s one of the best things about them. A few easy ways to keep things balanced at any cookout or restaurant outing today: start with water before reaching for a sugary drink or cocktail, load your plate with grilled proteins and vegetable sides before hitting the chips and desserts, and if you’re taking advantage of multiple restaurant deals this weekend, space them out rather than stacking them in one day. The Whole Foods 50% off frozen treats deal through July 7 is worth bookmarking for a lighter, fruit-based dessert option — grab a pint of something like Van Leeuwen or So Delicious for the freezer and enjoy it throughout the week.

The Grill as Teacher: What Fire Reveals About Cooking

Grilling vegetables over direct heat increases the bioavailability of certain antioxidants by breaking down cell walls and making their contents more accessible — while the brief, high-heat cooking minimizes the loss of water-soluble vitamins that longer, lower-temperature cooking methods produce. The char that develops on grilled vegetables, while containing small amounts of heterocyclic compounds, also contains significant concentrations of beneficial phytonutrients produced by the caramelization of plant sugars. Marinating proteins before grilling — particularly with acidic marinades containing lemon juice or vinegar — has been shown to significantly reduce the formation of potentially harmful compounds produced when fat drips onto hot coals, making the marinated and grilled preparation one of the more nutritionally sound applications of high-heat cooking.

Smoked Cream Cheese Is the Easiest Thing You’ll Make This July 4th

Cream cheese is rich, so a little goes a long way — which actually works in your favor here. Serving it as a dip rather than a spread naturally limits portion size, and loading the board around it with fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, celery, and bell pepper strips gives guests a lighter vehicle than crackers alone. If you want to lighten the base, swapping in a block of Neufchâtel cheese — which is widely available and nearly identical in texture — cuts the fat content by about a third without changing the final result in any noticeable way.
