Why we love it:

Chicken wings typically feel like restaurant snacks or party food, so we think they’re really fun to serve as a regular meal at home. If you heat the oven fully for the pre-sauce bake, they’ll mimic the fried texture from a restaurant. Topped with sticky, salty, sweet sauce, you can’t beat it!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons White Miso (or yellow)
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings (drumettes or party wings)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 4 cups Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 2 ribs Celery
  • 1⁄2 Cucumber
  • 3 Tablespoons Almonds
  • 3 Mandarin Orangess
  • 4 Tablespoons Salad Dressing

Cooking Instructions

  • 1. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 450 DEGREES
  • 2. SAUCE

    In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Stir in the honey and miso, whisk until smooth. Add the soy sauce and ground cumin. Set aside.

  • 3. WINGS

    Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and spread out the wings in a single layer. Sprinkle the salt over top. Bake the wings for about 10 minutes then remove the pan from the oven. Use tongs or a fork to flip the wings, the bottoms should be nicely golden. Return to the oven and cook for another 5 minutes. Slide the pan out and now pour the sauce over top.

    Cook for bursts of 3 - 5 minutes, turning the wings to coat well in the sauce as if cooks and sauce becomes thicker and stickier. They’re done when fully glazed in sauce, deeply browned, and the meat will start to pull off the narrow end of the bone just a bit.

  • 4. SALAD

    Meanwhile, wash and dry lettuce. Dice or slice the pepper, celery and cucumber; add. Add the almonds. Peel and add in the orange segments.

  • 5. SERVING

    Serve wings and a pile of salad with your favorite salad dressing on the side.

How to Tweak This Recipe for Kids:

  • You can move some wings to the side of the pan and serve them plain if preferred. Or add BBQ sauce or a bottled teriyaki while cooking
  • Slice the peppers and cucumbers for a side dish instead of salad. Offer with dressing or dip
  • I’d usually add a side of rice or noodles for kids

For Toddlers

  • Help them by cutting the meat off the bones to serve
  • Add rice or noodles on the side with chopped up veggies for them to more easily eat

For Choosy Eaters

  • Cook some plain or let them dip in a sauce they like
  • Add rice or noodles
  • Instead of salad offer carrots and cucumbers, or steam edamame
