Honey wings with gravy combine the sweet and savory flavors of honey-glazed wings with a rich gravy sauce. Here’s a recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
For the Honey Wings:
- 2-3 lbs chicken wings, split into drumettes and wingettes
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
For the Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Wings:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the wings and marinade to a large resealable plastic bag.
- Marinate the wings in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
2. Bake the Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the wire rack in a single layer, leaving space between each wing.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through the cooking time.
3. Make the Gravy:
- While the wings are baking, prepare the gravy. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the roux is golden brown and fragrant.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
4. Serve:
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Drizzle the honey wings with the prepared gravy.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
- Serve the honey wings with gravy hot as an appetizer or main dish, alongside rice, potatoes, or your favorite side dishes.
