Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

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 garnish

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil, roasted garlic powder, 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence, and kosher salt until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the baking sheet and use tongs to flip the wings; return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
  5. While the wings bake, make the garlic-herb honey glaze: melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Add the minced garlic and 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence to the melted butter and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  7. Stir in the honey until the mixture is smooth, then remove the saucepan from heat.
  8. When the wings are fully cooked, change the oven setting to broil. Flip the wings so the skin side is up, brush them with the garlic-honey glaze, and broil 2–4 minutes until the skin is crisp and caramelized—watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove the wings from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Let wings sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking for even cooking.
  • Optionally marinate wings in oil, herbs, and garlic for 15–20 minutes before cooking.
  • Use unsalted butter so you can control the final salt level.
  • Broiling at the end crisps the skin—do not skip this step.
  • Cooked wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
