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.
