These sweet and savory Japanese flavored chicken wings with miso and honey. Sooo GOOD that you can't stop eating. The darker the color, the more salty. I am partial to the sweeter version of white miso, which is mild and very tasty.

They are so delicious; sweet, savory, with the taste of miso and honey. Make a bunch of these, they can be served as an entree for dinner or as an appetizer!
