Thai Chicken Wings Recipe

This Thai Chicken Wings Recipe is made with Waxing Kara honey. That is, they are sweet and spicy and truly delicious. They are PERFECT for football fare or a Sunday afternoon family get-together. They are also straightforward to make. Thai cooking is just the right balance of sweet, spicy, and sticky. If you make enough of this Thai marinate, you’ll have an excellent dipping sauce. It does keep things simple when you only have to make one sauce!

Adapting this Wings Recipe

A recipe does not reach true perfection until you’ve added your touch to it. We encourage you to play with your food at our Honey House. Change up this recipe. For example, here are some ideas to consider when you are cooking:

• Try using darker honey for a more robust flavor (mainly, try Avocado or Buckwheat)
• Serve with a sweet Thai chili dipping sauce and lime wedges
• Serve topped with sliced scallion, chopped cilantro, and chili flakes

We created these wings as an appetizer; however, you can easily make this a meal by adding a lovely Noodle Salad for a well-balanced meal!

In addition, if you have time and want to serve these wings with a perfect salad, try your hand at this papaya salad.

These healthy baked wings are as good for your guests as they taste!
