I recently fell in love with mustard – don’t ask me why it took me over 25+ years to find out but yea it just did. I love adding them to salad dressings, marinades, sandwiches etc. These honey-mustard wings are a recent discovery and I’m so in love with the flavour combination! They are sticky, juicy and so delicious that I regret making only 6 of them (and I had to share them with X).

Not to mention that they are incredibly easy to prepare – mix everything together, pop in the refrigerator to marinate, then pop them in the oven and that’s it! Clean-up is also a breeze because of the baking paper that lined the baking sheet. I don’t like using aluminum foil as the chicken skin tends to stick to the foil, with baking paper they don’t stick at all.
These wings make the perfect snack, appetizer, party food – basically they can be served anywhere and anytime and they will still fit in (I think). Instead of baking them, you can also grill them on the BBQ for an even more awesome smoky flavour. Just remember to make more as they will all be gone too soon!

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Wings
INGREDIENTS
- 500 grams chicken wings, about 6 pieces
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
INSTRUCTIONS
- Chop the chicken wings to separate the drumettes and wingettes. Chop off the wing tips and reserve them to make stock. Rinse the durmettes and wingettes and dry them with paper towels. Place them in a ziploc bag.
- Combine mustard, honey, soy sauce, salt, black pepper and paprika together in a small bowl. Add the marinade into the ziploc bag, ensuring the chicken pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and leave it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 200C / 400F. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and arrange the chicken pieces on top, not letting them touch each other.
- Place the baking sheet 6-inches away from the top heating element and bake for 18 minutes, then turn on the grill/broil setting (only the top heating element) to the highest setting and grill for 2 minutes, turn to the other side and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes to brown the skin. Let cool slightly on a wire rack then serve.

Jasline N. says

I’m pinning this to make soon! My husband would love these! I am now also a big fan of mustard – it adds so much flavor and a little thickness to so many things – but I mustard and mayo used to be big no-no’s for me! I’m still not a big fan of mayo alone but I have at least a few kinds of mustard on hand now and reach for it all the time now! Love this easy recipe!
Jasline N. says
I only have Dijon mustard on hand as I think it’s more versatile in recipes. And I love adding mustard to mayo, it adds such a delicious kick to the sauce!

I love honey and I love mustard. Most of all, I LURVE the fact that it’s hassle-free! My kind of savoury bakes. And yes, you’re right… You made a mistake in only baking 6 pieces!!! I could eat all 6
Jasline N. says
Hee I’m glad that this recipe is so for you! Yes I could eat all 6 too, but too bad I had to share :p

My husband LOVES mustard! I have to make these for him. Maybe he’ll share some with me too 🙂
Jasline N. says
May I suggest making double and keeping it a secret from your husband? That way you won’t have to fight with him over the chicken wings 😉
canelakitchen says

To be very honest, I only discovered mustard in the last year. I always thought it was spicy, and I can’t eat spicy due to medical reasons, so that was why I stayed clear of the yellow stuff. Then I had a burger with mustard and then realised, hey, this sauce is a great savoury sauce. Love how you cooked it with chicken wings and I must say those wings do look like they are shining golden 🙂
Jasline N. says
I’m glad I’m not the only late-bloomer in discovering and loving mustard! Some types of mustard are spicier than regular ones, so I hope you can eat those types too!
Mabel Kwong says
Thanks for the tip that some mustards are spicier than others. Now I’ll know not to heap it on my food but on the side of the plate!
