Honey Mustard Chicken Wings

Sticky, tangy, and finger-lickin’ good—these honey mustard chicken wings are baked (or air-fried) to golden perfection and tossed in a sweet-savory glaze that keeps everyone coming back for more.

Origin Honey Mustard Chicken Wings

While chicken wings are beloved across the world, this honey mustard twist comes from American kitchens where the classic sauce—made of mustard and honey—was reimagined as a zesty coating for game day favorites and party snacks.

What I Love About This Recipe

It hits all the right notes: sweet, tangy, and savory with a little kick. I love how the wings get caramelized and sticky in the oven, and they’re super easy to whip up with pantry staples!
