Instructions
- To prepare the honey garlic chicken wings, begin by preheating the oven to 425°F.

- Bake the wings for around 35 minutes or until their internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Notes
- Use quality chicken wings: Using fresh, high-quality chicken wings will make a big difference in the taste.
- Season the wings well: Make sure to season the wings with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. This will add flavour and enhance the taste of the chicken.
- Bake at the right temperature: Preheat the oven to 425°F and bake the wings for about 35 minutes. This will ensure that the wings are well-cooked and crispy.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper: This will prevent the wings from sticking to the pan. It will help in cleaning up the pan easier.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: This will give the flavours time to meld together and make the sauce even more delicious.
- Toss the wings in the sauce while they are still hot: For the best flavour and texture, toss the wings in the sauce while they are still hot in the oven. This will help the sauce to stick to the wings and create a delicious glaze.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Add some chopped fresh herbs, for instance, parsley or cilantro, to the wings before serving. This will add some colour and freshness to the dish.
