About the recipe

Who doesn’t like a wing night? I’ve always liked them but I was always torn because getting ones as take-out can be expensive and my body doesn’t really tolerate deep-fried food, and the ones you bake at home weren’t as crispy as I wished and they made a mess. I kind of gave up on them until I got my hands on an air fryer. Making my own sauces allows me to be creative and season them differently every time! Today I share with you my smoky and sticky honey garlic sauce.

The ingredients

Chicken wings are a must-have at my house. I usually buy a 2kg bag and keep it in the freezer. I thaw them, as needed, for our wing nights!
Worcestershire sauce is a condiment most people have heard of before, probably because of how difficult of a word it is to pronounce, rather than how you can use it. In this recipe, it gives this sauce a smoky flavour. Use Worcestshire sauce in any of your meat marinades!

Recipe variations

Use this sauce with other protein sources. You don’t have to use this sauce on chicken wings. You can use it in a stirfry, with chicken, tofu or tempeh.
Make it vegan by replacing the honey with maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce with liquid smoke.
