Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Large Bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring cup
  • Tongs
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bone-in, skin-on chicken wing portions
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
  • 1 teaspoon roasted garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ¼ stick
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
  • 1/8 cup mild honey such as clover or wildflower
  • chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, rosemary, or chives, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, vegetable oil, roasted garlic powder, 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence, and kosher salt; toss with tongs until the wings are evenly coated.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet and use tongs to flip the wings; return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
  • While the wings bake, make the glaze: melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence to the melted butter and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the honey until the mixture is smooth and combined, then remove from heat.
  • When the wings are fully cooked, change the oven setting to broil. Flip wings so they are skin-side up and brush them with the garlic-honey butter glaze.
  • Broil the glazed wings for 2–4 minutes, watching closely, until the skin is crispy and browned.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let wings sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking for even cooking.
  • Optionally marinate wings in the oil, garlic, and herbs for 15–20 minutes before baking.
  • Use unsalted butter so you can control the final salt level.
  • Broiling briefly at the end crisps the skin.
  • Fully cooked wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • These baked wings can be finished with any wing sauce you prefer.
