Baked Chicken Wings with Honey & Lemon

Whenever we have chicken wings for lunch, dinner or snack time, my daughter would never have enough.

One of my friends even screams out, “Chicken wings, I love you.” , when any wings are on table. I don’t know if chicken wings have got any magic.

Last week I baked chicken wings with honey and lemon juice.

Baked Chicken Wings with Honey & Lemon Procedures

It became a big hit in my family as expected. When all the chicken wings are gone, the same question still came to me, “Did you leave some more in the pan?” Uhh…

Baked Chicken Wings with Honey & Lemon Recipe

(Printable recipe)

Prep time:
Cook time:
Yield: 2 to 3 serves

 Baked Chicken Wings with Honey & Lemon

Ingredients:
  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • ½ (freshly grated juice) lemon, about 3 Tbsp, skin reserved
  • 2 to 3 bay leaves, fresh of dried
Marinade:
  • 3 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 200C (392F).
  2. Rinse chicken wings well and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into pieces. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Place chicken wings in a ceramic baking pan in a single layer. Drizzle lemon juice. Cut reserved skins into quarters and add to pan with bay leaves. You might like to drizzle over olive oil as well. But I didn’t use any oil as the chicken wings will release heaps of oil while baking. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked. Turn once after baking for 20 minutes, basting with sauce. Brush with honey on the surface of the wings when almost done.
  4. You’ll notice a layer of oil over the sauce in pan, just use a teaspoon to remove the oil. Serve wings on a platter at room temperature. Transfer sauce in a small bowl for dipping or just pour over the wings if desired.

Notes:
  • If you don’t want any sauce and get the BBQ effect, use metal baking pan instead of ceramic one.
  • You can add more lemon juice and honey to your preference.

  1. Oh my gosh, this just looks so good with that savory sweet sauce. I know I would love this, not to make it.

  2. I have a major weakness for chicken wings, esp when they are glazed with honey, plus drizzles of anything citrusy, Christine, when will you come back to Hong Kong? Hahahahahaha

  3. To OysterCulture,
    It seems that the savory sweet sauce has got some magic in it.

    To Kenny,
    I also long for coming back to HK to visit my family and friends.

    To pigpigscorner,
    No problem as long as the technology could do this job for us.

  4. i'm lost! when should the lemon juice be added: step 2 (marinate) or 3 (transfer to pan with lemon skins)?

    1. Sorry for confusing.
      The lemon juice is added when the chicken wings are placed in a baking dish (step 3).

  5. Hi Christine,

    Do you think it will affect the taste/aroma if I omit bay leaves? Thanks.

    1. It won't affect the taste. But the wings will have less aroma.

    1. Bay leaves = 香葉。
      You can get them from any supermarkets or Asian grocers easily.

  8. Does 'preheat 200C' mean with fan or without fan? Thanks in advance

    1. It's 200C without fan.

      All oven temperature assigned in each recipe is without fan. If with fan-forced, it'll be specified.

    1. Hi teo,
      Sure, you can. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

  10. Hi Christine, I noticed your recipe mentioned a sauce that goes with the wings? Is it the marinade?

  11. Hi Andrea,
    You're right. Put the marinade with the chicken wings and bake them together. There will be some sauce/juice released after baking if you use ceramic baking dish. If you use metal baking dish, the juice will be boiled away very quickly.
