Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd

Give each link space to allow hot air to circulate and crisp all sides.

Flip Halfway Through

Ensures even browning and caramelization of the honey glaze.

Watch the Final Minutes

Sugars in the honey can burn quickly—check closely during the last 2 minutes.
