Chicken wings are a true symbol of friendly gatherings and cozy get-togethers. Their history traces back to American gastronomy, where they became popular due to the combination of crispy texture and rich flavor. This European version of the dish presents the wings in a new light: tender meat is infused with a sweet-spicy marinade of honey, lemon juice, and ginger, acquiring a rich aroma with a hint of caramel. The combination of garlic and soy sauce adds zest, while the sour cream sauce with dill and mayonnaise softens the intensity of the spices, creating a harmony of taste. These wings are perfect for picnics or cozy family dinners, providing delight in every bite. They are served hot with grill smoke, making the meal especially appetizing and unforgettable.
1
Wash the chicken wings and cut them into two parts (wing and thigh).

Melt the honey - it should be liquid (you can use a microwave).

Mix the wings well in the marinade, press them down with a weight, and place in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours.
