Sticky Honey Garlic Wings

Sticky honey garlic wings are incredibly delicious and an excellent appetizer for absolutely any event or party! They have a mouthwatering, sweet taste that will keep you snacking all night long!

These wings are so easy to make and everyone will be asking you for the recipe! I love that they are crispy and golden on the outside but once you drizzle them with that sweet honey garlic sauce, you will be hooked. If you love wings as much as I do, then try these air fryer wings, chili lime wings, or drizzle this buffalo sauce on a wing recipe that you already have!

Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Amazing and delicious, these sticky honey garlic wings will be the talk of the town! My favorite thing is when I come home from a party and I am inspired to try one of the dishes that I was served! This recipe is one of those that once you make it, will be requested at every event that you host. On top of that, these wings are baked and not fried! That’s exactly how you will achieve that crispy, golden chicken. You will love it!

I especially love that this recipe not only tells you how to make the perfect wings, but it is a spin on the traditional buffalo sauce that wings are so often served with. A mixture of honey and garlic makes these wings finger-licking good! It brings out a whole new level of flavor that your taste buds will thank you for later. Don’t forget to garnish them with that green onion! It will make these taste so fresh and you will have the perfect wings!!

Chicken Wing Ingredients

Aside from the protein in this recipe, all of the other ingredients are pantry staples that you most likely have on hand already! That’s what makes whipping up these sticky, honey garlic wings such a cinch! See the recipe card below for exact measurements.

  • Chicken wings: I think its easiest to buy chicken wings that are already broken down into drumettes and wingettes. It will make this recipe that much easier!
  • Baking Powder: This will coat your wings and get them ready to get baked to a golden crisp!

Honey Garlic Sauce Ingredients

  • Honey: This adds in the sweetness for the dish.
  • Soy Sauce: Try buying this soy sauce! It’s a personal favorite of mine and has just the perfect taste!
  • Apple cider vinegar: This superstar ingredient not only has health benefits but it creates a slight tangy taste.
  • Garlic cloves: Garlic adds in some flavor. If you don’t have fresh cloves to mince, you can use the minced garlic from your fridge. ½ tsp equals about 1 clove of garlic.
  • Water: This will be mixed with the cornstarch.
  • Cornstarch: Cornstarch and water will create a base that helps the sauce get thicker.
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions: These are a delicious last touch added as a garnish!

How Do I Make Sticky Honey Garlic Wings?

These wings are a simple two-step process! You will start with baking the wings first and then you can make the sauce next. Here are the instructions on how to easily make both!

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. Add the wings to a medium sized bowl or ziplock bag and toss with the baking powder.
  2. Bake: Place them on an evenly layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes (turning once!) until crispy.

To Make the Honey Garlic Sauce

  1. Whisk: In a medium saucepan over medium high heat whisk add the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and garlic. In a small bowl whisk the water and cornstarch and pour into the sauce.
  2. Boil: Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Whisk the sauce until it starts to thicken ad coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Toss: In a large bowl add the wings and toss in the sauce until they are coated.
  4. Garnish: Top with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Tips for Crispy Wings

Football season, holidays, and all of the gatherings are about to start in the fall! Now is the time to step up your game and figure out how to get the crispiest, tastiest wings of all!

  • Pat dry: Make sure that before you start coating them with the baking powder that you take the time to pat each wing dry. This will eliminate any water that is in them (which causes them to steam and not be as crispy). Just pat them down with a paper towel!
  • High heat: The temperature that you bake these at is key to getting the wings crispy. Make sure not to ajdust this temperature or you will have cooked wings that aren’t crispy.
  • How do I know when they are done cooking? While crispy is the goal, you don’t want them OVER cooked either! This will dry them out. Your wings will be done when they are golden and no longer pink. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees.

How to Store, Freeze and Reheat Chicken Wings

The best dish is one that keeps on giving! Luckily, this recipe for honey garlic wings makes it easy to store in your fridge or freezer! You can simply thaw and reheat them to enjoy at a later time!

  • Refrigerate: If you have leftovers that you would like to put in the fridge, just store them in and airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
  • Freeze: Make sure that you let your wings cool completely to room temperature. Freeze for 2-3 hours on a baking sheet and then transfer them to an airtight container. They can last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure to remove them and let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat: There are a few ways to reheat your wings! You can reheat the wings in an air fryer at 375 degrees for 2-3 minutes. You can reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes until the internal temperature (with a meat thermometer) is 165 degrees. Or if you need quick and easy, just place them in the microwave until heated through!

Peach Scones

Peach Scones are quite literally summer wrapped in a flakey buttery tender scone. Super ripe sweet peaches are the star of these treats, topped with a sweet vanilla glaze!

Peaches are one of my favorite fruits of summer, they are so exquisite! Try them in these tried and true recipes, Peach Pie, Brown Sugar Grilled Peaches, and Peaches and Cream Bars!

Peach Scones

I love a great buttery soft scone, they are so worth waking up for in the morning! You have to try my other scones, Cranberry Orange and Blueberry! They are all so heavenly. These peach scones are super easy to make and are melt in your mouth delicious! Your whole family is going to love them. Full of sweet tender juicy peaches, they burst with flavor with every bite. The delicate dough will bake up flakey, tender, and moist. The icing is the perfect topping. Slightly flavored with a touch of vanilla, it completes the scone.

The wonderful thing about scones is that they are super forgiving. They are supposed to be rustic looking so don’t fret too much over how they look. You do not want to overwork the dough, it will prematurely melt the butter and leave you with flat hard scones. You’ll notice in the pictures I didn’t peel my peaches, you don’t have to peel them before adding them to the dough. It’s a personal preference, but there are nutrients in the skin. Pair them with some bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns for, breakfast or a Breakfast Casserole for a brunch that is sure to WOW!

Ingredients for Scones

Using super COLD or frozen butter is key to creating a flakey soft scone. The butter will melt leaving pockets of air that form the supreme texture. For all measurements, see the recipe card below.

  • All purpose flour: This is the perfect flour to give the scones structure and create soft tender insides.
  • Granulated sugar: White sugar will add moisture and sweetness.
  • Baking powder: This will help the scones puff up.
  • Salt: Salt balances out the sweet.
  • Unsalted butter: Keep your butter cold. I like to freeze it the night before and then grate it.
  • Heavy cream: Your heavy cream should be cold. You can use half and half.
  • Egg: Make sure your egg is a large one and at room temperature.
  • Vanilla extract: This will give the vanilla sweetness and flavor that goes with the peaches.
  • Fresh peaches: Pit and dice the peaches into small bite sized pieces.
  • Sugar crystals: A nice crunchy sugar perfect for topping.
  • Powdered sugar: Sift your powdered sugar for easy mixing.
  • Heavy cream: This will create a sweet thick nice frosting.
  • Vanilla extract: Brings flavor to the icing.

How to Make Peach Scones

Do not be tempted to overwork the dough. It will melt the butter and make the scones flat and tough. Shape quickly and then let it be.

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
  3. Grate Frozen Butter and mix: Use a box grater to grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients. Use your hands to llightly mix the butter into the flour. Add the diced peaches and toss gently.
  4. Wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cream, egg and vanilla extract. Pour over the butter and dry ingredients and stir to combine. Trying to work the dough as little as possible, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and work into a ball. Flatten into an 8-9 inch disc. Use a sharp knife to cut into 6-8 equal pieces.
  5. Place: Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one.
  6. Bake: Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until nice and golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 5-10 minutes before drizzling the icing over the top.
  7. Frost: Icing: In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. If it seems too thick, add 1 more tablespoon of heavy cream.

Tips For Perfect Peach Scones

Peach Scones are a simple yet flavorful pastry that is great for either breakfast, brunch, or dessert!

  • Cold Butter: Using cold butter is one of the key things in making light, flaky scones. I like to put my butter in the freezer the night before and then grate it frozen. This will help the butter stay cold as you toss it with the dry ingredients and then mix everything together with the cold cream.
  • Working The Dough: Less is more when it comes to bringing this dough together! I like to stir it together and then press everything into a firm dough with my hands. Work quickly to ensure the butter stays nice and cold and doesn’t begin to melt.
  • Alternatives: Instead of typical yellow peaches, give this recipe a try with white peaches, any variety or nectarine, or even plums! Whatever fruit you choose to try it with is sure to impress.
  • Extract: Change up the extract for a different flavor combination. Use Almond instead of vanilla in both the dough and icing. It’s amazing.
  • Frozen Peaches: You can use frozen peaches, cut them while still frozen and mix into the dough. You do not have to thaw them first.

Peeling Peaches

If you want to peel your peaches before adding them to your scones, I have the easiest way. You just need to blanch them and the peels come right off.

  • Boil Water: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
  • Blanch: Place the peaches in the boiling water for about 30 seconds.
  • Ice Bath: Using a slotted spoon remove the peaches from the boiling water and place in ice water. Once they are cooled enough to handle you can slip the skins off of the peaches super easily. I often cut the peach in half and the skin will come off in my hands. Pit and dice as needed.

Storing Peach Scones

One of the best things about these peach scones is how well they keep! They can be stored at room temp for up to a week and still maintain their buttery, flaky texture.

On The Counter: Store your scones at room temperature in an airtight container or a large ziplock bag. You can eat them at room temp or heat them in 10-second intervals for a warm treat!

They can be frozen, without the icing for up to a month. Thaw before frosting and warm slightly before enjoying.

Butter Garlic Herb Steak Foil Packets

Butter Garlic Herb Steak Foil Packets have melted in your mouth beef with hearty veggies that are grilled to perfection with butter that has garlic and herbs inside. This is one amazing meal that you don’t want to miss out on! 

Delicious and filling, streak and veggies are always a go-to in our house and this recipe is no exception because it is tasty AND easy! If you love steak, try this Philly cheesesteak, air fryer steak, or prime rib!

Steak and vegetables wrapped in foil.

Why Cook Steak in Foil Packets?

There are SO many ways to cook up delicious steak!! If you haven’t tried cooking it in a foil packet, be sure to check out this tried and true recipe and you will be glad you didn’t miss it! Cooking steak in a foil packet is an easy, beginner way to introduce yourself to cooking juicy, tender steak. Not only does your meat turn out amazing but you are cooking your vegetables at the exact same time!

By cooking your steak like this, the vegetables and the steak combine their flavors and juices making it so yummy! You can mix and match in this recipe and what better thing to include with them than butter with garlic and herbs? It just melts while it cooks and creates the most tender and perfect steak and veggies. This is a great summer dish and we love having a big BBQ followed by a fire and s’mores. Foil packets are one of my all-time favorite things to grill. It is the perfect meal in one!

Ingredients for Steak Foil Packets

This steak is so delicious and a MUST try for any steak lovers! You only need a few basic ingredients and you will be on your way to an easy, yummy dinner! See the recipe card below for exact measurements.

  • Red potatoes: Get these on the smaller side and cut them into fourths.
  • Carrots: Slice up your carrots so they are about 1 inch.
  • Red and green bell peppers: Cut each pepper into small cubes
  • Red onion: Dice your onion into cubes.
  • Salt and pepper: This is to add flavor that coats the veggies. Use pepper sparingly if you don’t like heat!
  • Olive oil: This will help the flavoring stick to the vegetables and help them to not clump together while cooking.
  • Top sirloin steak: Cut into one inch cubes (*see recipe card for note on searing the meat)

Ingredients for Garlic Herb Butter

  • Butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature.
  • Parsley, rosemary and thyme: These herbs should be freshly chopped.
  • Garlic cloves: Mince your cloves. If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use minced garlic. ½ tsp is about the same as 1 garlic clove.
  • Salt: This will bring out all of the flavors in the recipe!
  • Pepper: This dish doesn’t have a lot of heat so you don’t need to worry about the pepper being too much. It adds some great flavor!

How to Make Butter Garlic Herb Steak Foil Packets

We absolutely loved these foil packets! They are easily one of our favorites. I love how the grill gives the slightly charred edges. These were full of amazing flavor and I loved the combination of the herbs.

  1. Toss: In a medium sized bowl add the red potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and red onion. Add salt and pepper and toss with olive oil.
  2. Place on foil: Put four 18×12-inch pieces of heavy aluminum foil on counter. Evenly place vegetable mixture on each piece of foil. Top vegetables with steak.
  3. Make and top with garlic herb butter: In a small bowl add the butter, parsley, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Divide evenly and place on top of the steak. Double fold top and ends of each piece of foil, leaving space for steam to gather.

Other Cooking Methods

  • Grill: Place packets on the grill and cover. Grill 15 minutes or until steak is cooked through and veggies are tender. Carefully open packets and serve.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Unwrap and broil right at the end to give the steak a slight char.

Helpful Recipe Tips

You guys have got to grill these this summer. They are fantastic and will become a new favorite at your house as well! Here are a couple of tips that will make this recipe super easy!

  • Steak: The recipe calls for top sirloin and I would definitely make sure to follow that. It’s important to use a cut of steak that stays tender when you cook it like this! You CAN use a ribeye or porterhouse cut but they are not as lean!
  • Potatoes: If you use the baby red potatoes then you won’t have to peel them and they cook up so nicely in this recipe!
  • Vegetables: Make sure that you are cutting all of the vegetables about the same size so that they cook evenly together. If you chops some up larger than others, they will not be done all at the same time!
  • Olive oil: I prefer to use olive oil in this recipe but if you have another oil on hand in your kitchen, you can totally use that instead!

Variation Ideas

The great thing about recipes like this is that you can easily change them up to make them your own! Here are a few ideas on variations and what you could do to make this recipe fit your family just right!

  • Vegetables: Your kids don’t like bell peppers or carrots? No problem! Try adding in any variety of vegetables that you like! Green beans, corn, broccoli or anything you can think of that will make this recipe better for you!
  • More flavor: If you want to add a little more flavor, try adding in some cheese or some chopped up bacon! It will totally change things up but those are two things that you can’t go wrong with!

Can I Make These Foil Packets Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can! If you are planning on taking these camping or want to prepare them ahead of time for your family BBQ, you can do that! Here are some instructions.

  • Meat and veggies: You can chop all of the ingredients up a few hours ahead of time (I wouldn’t recommend any sooner than that because your potatoes will start to turn brown). Put them in some ziplock bags in a cooler or your fridge and take them out and place them in the foil when you are ready to cook!
  • Garlic herb butter: Make this ahead of time and store it seperately from your meat and veggies. You will want to wait until just before cooking to coat the food (make sure to stir the butter mixture before you begin tossing). By keeping this seperate and tossing it on the food just before cooking, the butter doesn’t harden up into uneven clumps on the food. This will keep it nice and even for cooking!
