Honey Mustard Chicken Wings

These Honey Mustard Chicken Wings are a go-to party snack. Marinate them with honey, mustard, and soy sauce, and then roast them in the oven. No deep-frying required!

I love good finger food, don’t you? Here’s an easy recipe for chicken wing drummettes—the part of a chicken wing that looks like a mini drumstick.

You marinate the wing drummettes in a mixture of honey, mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic, and then roast them in the oven until done.

Use Drummettes or Wingettes

You don’t have to use only drummettes, you can use wingettes or just pieces of chicken, cut the size of drummette. Note that cooking time will vary with different cuts.

These were absolutely delicious; we can’t wait to make them again!

Chicken Wings in the Oven

That’s right — no deep-frying required for these chicken wings. These are roasted in the oven.

This makes this party snack a little bit healthier, and also means you can make the entire batch all at once. Easy!

For more crispy edges and even cooking, set a metal baking rack inside your baking sheet and lay the drummettes on top. This lifts them off the surface of the baking sheet and lets them cook from all sides.
