Preparation steps

Marinade

1

Prepare the marinade: pour honey into a large bowl (if it's thick — warm the jar in hot water for 1-2 minutes), add canola oil, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Peel the garlic and press it directly into the bowl. Add hot and sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix vigorously with a spoon or whisk for 30-45 seconds until the ingredients combine into a uniform, sticky emulsion.

Ingredients: Honey, Rapeseed oil, Soy sauce, Apple cider vinegar, Garlic, sweet paprika, Salt, Black pepper
Use a large metal or glass bowl and a wooden spoon or whisk. If the honey is very thick, gently warm it up to make it easier to spread. Do not mix too vigorously — a uniform consistency is enough.
3

Set the bowl with the coated wings covered with foil in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. If you have more time, you can marinate for 1–3 hours — a longer time will deepen the flavor. For a quick serving, 15 minutes is enough, as the honey and salt will start to work immediately.

Ingredients: chicken wing
Use the refrigerator or a cool place. Do not leave raw meat outside the refrigerator for longer than 2 hours. If marinating for more than 1 hour, place the bowl on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

Preparation of the wings

2

Dry the wings thoroughly with paper towels: place a piece of paper on the countertop, lay the wings on it, cover with another paper, and press until they are no longer wet. If the wings have different broken parts, trim the tip if necessary (you can save it for broth). Then place the wings in a bowl with the marinade and coat each piece thoroughly: use your hands or tongs, mixing for 1-2 minutes to allow the marinade to get under the skin and into the cuts.

Ingredients: chicken wing, Honey, Rapeseed oil, Soy sauce, Garlic, sweet paprika, Salt, Black pepper
Use disposable gloves or wash your hands after handling raw meat. A large bowl or a ziplock bag makes it easier to coat evenly. If you want better penetration — make 1-2 shallow cuts in the skin of each wing before marinating.

Baking

4

Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C). Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper; for better air circulation, use a rack set on the tray. Arrange the wings individually, leaving about 2 cm of space between them so they do not touch. Bake for 22–25 minutes, halfway through (after 11–12 minutes) turn the wings and brush with a spoon the remaining marinade from the bottom of the bowl. Continue baking until the skin is golden brown and slightly caramelized.

Ingredients: chicken wing, Honey
The best option is a baking tray measuring about 30x40 cm and a baking rack. If you don't have a rack — place the wings directly on the paper. Turn them with tongs, not a fork, to avoid tearing the skin.

Finishing

5

If you want a more intense glaze, turn on the broil function of the oven for 2–3 minutes and broil the wings from a distance of 10–12 cm until the edges are darker and sticky. Be careful — honey burns very quickly, so keep an eye on it at all times.

Ingredients: chicken wing, Honey
Standing close to the oven, observe the process every 20–30 seconds. If you notice smoke or too rapid browning, turn off the grill and let it finish baking without the grill.

Serving

6

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 4–5 minutes — the internal temperature will distribute evenly, and the juices will be retained in the meat. Sprinkle with chopped chives and toasted sesame seeds just before serving. Serve on a large board or platter with a bowl of kefir dip (kefir mixed with a bit of lemon juice, salt, and pepper).

Ingredients: Chives, Sesame
Use a sharp knife to finely chop the chives. If you are adding sesame, first lightly toast it in a dry pan, shaking every few seconds for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.

Fun Fact

💡

Chicken wings became a popular snack thanks to the American dish Buffalo wings, but Polish versions often use local products, such as honey from beekeepers, which gives them a distinctive regional flavor.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve hot, straight from the oven. A cool dip made with kefir, garlic, and dill pairs perfectly with the wings, along with pickled cucumbers that will balance the sweetness of the honey. Serve with paper towels and bowls for the bones. If you want a lower-calorie version, remove some of the skin before baking and use a rack over the baking sheet to let the fat drip off.

🥡 Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Reheat in an oven preheated to 180°C for 8–10 minutes to restore crispness. Do not reheat in the microwave, as the crust will become soft.
