  • Easy to Make: With simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, anyone can make these wings.
  • Versatile: Adjust the amount of garlic and soy sauce to suit your taste preferences.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Bake the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy.
  5. Broil for Extra Crispiness: Turn on the broiler. Broil the wings for 2-3 minutes per side, watching carefully to prevent burning, until they are deeply golden brown and extra crispy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Garlic Soy Chicken Wings

  • Marinate for Maximum Flavor: The longer you marinate the wings, the more flavorful they will be. Overnight marinating is ideal.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Arrange the wings in a single layer to ensure even cooking and crisping. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
  • Watch the Broiler Carefully: Broiling can quickly turn into burning. Keep a close eye on the wings and adjust the broiling time as needed.
  • Add a Touch of Heat: If you like spicy wings, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.

Variations

  • Honey Garlic Wings: Increase the amount of honey for a sweeter flavor.
  • Spicy Garlic Soy Wings: Add sriracha or gochujang to the marinade for a fiery kick.
  • Lemon Garlic Soy Wings: Add lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice to the marinade for a bright, citrusy flavor.
