Honey Ginger Salsa Wings

A Sticky, Sweet, and Savory Bite

Chicken wings are often associated with deep fryers and complicated sauces, but this recipe proves that the oven can produce results that are just as satisfying with far less mess. By combining the natural heat of garden salsa with the floral sweetness of honey and a warming kick of ground ginger, you create a glaze that caramelizes beautifully as it bakes. The result is a sticky, finger-licking coating that perfectly balances savory, sweet, and spicy notes.

These wings are an excellent choice for a casual evening gathering or a hearty appetizer before a main meal. Because they bake on a foil-lined pan, cleanup is incredibly simple, leaving you more time to enjoy the company of your guests. The sauce thickens and intensifies in the oven, wrapping every piece of chicken in a rich, flavorful layer that requires nothing more than a few napkins to enjoy.
