Altered ingredient amounts.
This recipe was really good! I added a good splash of cider vinegar and about 10 dashes of tabasco sauce to the marinade before boiling. I also used chicken strips instead of wings. Also, I made another half-batch of marinade (with 1 tablespoon cider vinegar and 5 dashes hot sauce) and stirred in 1 tablespoon cornflour mixed with 3 tablespoons water while it boiled. I served the extra sauce for dipping, and the next day, threw the leftovers together into one container. It microwaved just as good as the oven version! The next time I do this, I plan to make rice and serve the chicken and sauce over it!
Used different ingredients.
I didnt have any honey to hand but had a huge craving for "sticky chicken" so, I used golden syrup and also because of the mess the little ones make with wings, I substitued drumsticks. The kids ignored the side dishes and loved the chicken. We had -NO- left overs with this chicken!! Thanks Vickee!

Absolutely loved these wings! I used extra garlic and did add some cayenne pepper and a pinch or two of dried chillies to add a little heat to the sweetness of the wings. I only wished I doubled the recipe because they went to fast! Thank you for a great recipe! :-)
Something else.
Decided to take this a step further by adding balsamic vinegar to the marinade, cut the honey back by 1/3 and added extra garlic . While my chicken was cooking, I placed the marinade into a sauce pan to reduce and become nice and thick. Once the chicken was almost done, I brushed the thickened sauce over the wings, added some sesame seeds and baked for another ten minutes. the entire family loved this. Thanks Vickee!
Great wings... brought them to a contest and they went over very well. One of the first things to disappear. I topped them with toasted sesame seeds and spring onions. Would have added a little cayenne and increased the baking temp after taking the foil off next time.
