Ingredients

For the wings:

  • 4 pounds chicken wing sections fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • Parsley for garnish

For the honey mustard:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked pepper

Instructions

To make the wings:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a wire rack over a sheet pan. Spray with nonstick spray.
  • Use paper towels to dry the chicken wings, removing as much liquid as possible for the most crispy wings.
  • Add the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and sprinkle the seasoning over the top. Stir well to coat the chicken wings.
  • Arrange the chicken on the wire rack, skin side up, in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for another 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and toss with half of the honey mustard. Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and serve with leftover honey mustard for dipping.

To make the honey mustard:

  • Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Notes

There are around 10 wing sections per pound of wings. This recipe will make about 40 wings and nutrition information is calculated based on a serving size of 10 wings. 
Be sure to use aluminum free baking powder or it will give your wings a bitter flavor. The baking powder isn't strictly necessary if you don't have aluminum free on hand, but it does make for a crispier wing.
You may use store bought honey mustard sauce, but we love this homemade honey mustard. We like to serve these with both ranch and extra honey mustard for dipping.
