Honey Garlic Glazed Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Wings:

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Honey Garlic Glaze:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

For the Fries:

• 4 large potatoes, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
   • In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil until evenly coated.
   • Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, turning halfway through.
2. Prepare the Honey Garlic Glaze:
   • In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
   • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Prepare the Fries:
   • While the wings are baking, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Arrange them in a single layer on another baking sheet.
   • Bake in the same preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.
4. Make the Dipping Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Glaze the Wings:
   • Once the chicken wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the glazed chicken wings with the crispy fries on the side. Provide the dipping sauce for both the wings and fries.

Enjoy your honey garlic glazed chicken wings with fries and creamy dipping sauce! This meal is perfect for a hearty appetizer or a main dish.
