Instructions
Making soy garlic chicken wings is incredibly easy. Here’s how to do it:
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or zip-top bag and add the chicken wings. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a wire rack on top of a baking sheet by lightly coating it with olive oil or pan spray.
- Remove the wings from the marinade, shake off any excess liquid, and place them on the prepared wire rack. Bake for 40 minutes, turning halfway through.
- While the wings are baking, make the soy garlic sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the pan along with honey and soy sauce, and cook until thickened.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and brush them with the soy garlic sauce. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve the wings hot and enjoy!
Notes
Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect soy-garlic chicken wings:
- Use a good quality soy sauce for the best flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to your taste.
- If you like your chicken wings extra spicy, add some red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce.
- If you want a bit of sweetness, add a bit of brown sugar to the marinade.
- If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- If you’re looking for a vegan option, use tofu instead of chicken.
