• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves of garlic (minced)

The honey and Dijon mustard are the stars of this dish as they come together to make a tasty marinade that these wings will be basking in. You could substitute Dijon mustard for yellow mustard if that’s what you have on hand.

How To Make Honey Mustard Chicken Wings

1. First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheet with the aluminum foil.
2. In the mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss in the wings until they are fully coated in the marinade.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the lined baking sheet and bake them for 45 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
4. Serve them hot as is, or, garnish them with sesame seeds or chopped scallions, if desired.

• Turn the wings halfway through the baking time to ensure they get crispy all over.

Storage Tips

• Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container. They will last for 3-4 days.
