Microwave Onion Chicken Wings

Microwave Onion Chicken Wings

These succulent microwave chicken wings are a game-changer for quick, flavorful meals! Marinated to perfection for at least 2 hours (or opt for smaller wings to speed up the process), the chicken becomes tender and packed with taste. The secret? Layering sliced onions both above and below the wings before microwaving—this infuses them with sweet, caramelized depth in just 3 minutes. While the microwave works its magic, whip up a savory sauce, ensuring even mixing for maximum flavor. After the first cook, the wings are flipped, coated in the luscious sauce, and microwaved another 4 minutes until perfectly juicy and cooked through. With minimal prep and no oven required, these wings deliver crispy, saucy goodness in record time—ideal for busy weeknights or last-minute cravings. Onions add a delicious twist, making every bite irresistible!
