Preparation Method:
Step One: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray. This ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
Step Two: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Dry wings are the key to achieving that coveted crispy texture. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step Three: Sprinkle the wings evenly with kosher salt. Brush or toss them with honey mustard, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step Four: Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with extra honey mustard on the side.
Variations and Customizations:
• Add a kick of heat by mixing cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes into the honey mustard.
• For a smoky flavor, sprinkle smoked paprika over the wings before baking.
• Prefer a sweeter glaze? Use honey-Dijon mustard and drizzle extra honey over the wings before serving.
