Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Marinated Chicken Wings
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Add a beaten egg and mix until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with reserved marinade. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Once baked, turn your oven setting to broil. Broil the wings for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly crispy, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve immediately with dipping sauces or sides.
