- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Rub:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Garnish:

Directions: Follow these simple steps to create the perfect Honey Garlic Turkey Wings:
Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pat dry the turkey wings with paper towels until completely dry.
- In a large bowl, combine all the rub ingredients. Add the turkey wings and toss until well coated. Brush the wings with olive oil.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place parchment paper on top. Arrange the turkey wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. If needed, use two baking sheets.
- Bake the wings for 35 minutes, turning them over at the 20-minute mark to ensure even cooking.
Honey Garlic Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small pan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, Mirin, honey, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened and the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Combine Wings with the Sauce:
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and toss them with the prepared honey garlic sauce.
- Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
Broil and Serve:
- After baking, broil the wings for a few minutes until they are nicely caramelized.
- Allow the wings to cool for about 10 minutes, during which time the sauce will thicken. Stir the wings every few minutes to ensure they are evenly coated in the thickened sauce.
- Serve the Honey Garlic Turkey Wings with your favorite dipping sauce and garnish with sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor.
