Today, we are going to take an International classic – Chicken Wings Honey and Garlic – and give it an Italian twist. To do that, we’ll be using our Artisan Fresh Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Belmorso Garlic Paté. If you do this again when you get Novello EVOO, make sure to use that to up the taste even more.

You’ll be surprised how just elevating these two ingredients can completely change the final result. It’s also important to use a high quality local honey, even better if organic.

What to expect: the right level of sweetness combined with a garlicky flavour that also packs a kick. Every chicken wing will taste more delicious than the previous one because you’ll get to appreciate each of the flavour profile more and more.

 

 

What is honey garlic sauce made of?

If you use high quality ingredients, your honey garlic sauce should only include 2 ingredients, honey and garlic paté. That will not only give you a tastier more authentic result, but also be healthier and easy to prepare.

How many chicken wings should you have?

While this totally depends on your appetite, I suggest 6 large chicken wings along a side dish like salad, potatoes, or vegetables.

 

 

How to eat chicken wings healthy?

To make your chicken wings meal healthier follow these steps:

  1. bake instead of fry;
  2. use a healthy marinade made with genuine ingredients rather than processed ones. Garlic and EVOO, EVOO and balsamic, parmesan and EVOO are healthy options.
  3. serve with a healthy side like a salad or roasted vegetables;
  4. keep your portion under 6 wings;
  5. skip dessert or opt for fruit, yogurt and dark chocolate.
