Soy Garlic Chicken Wings
Description
Chicken wings are dried and coated evenly with a blend of potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder before baking initially at 450°F, then reduced to 425°F for 40 minutes with a flip halfway through. This coating supports a crispy texture after baking.
The sauce is prepared separately by simmering brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, water, garlic powder, and minced garlic over medium heat until thickened, which forms a glossy glaze. Once wings are baked, they are transferred into a bowl and coated thoroughly with the soy garlic sauce while still warm.
These wings serve as a snack or appetizer, offered in four servings or two generous portions for sharing. The recipe balances sweet and savory with a garlicky punch, featuring a sticky, crispy texture.
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 3 tablespoons potato starch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- cooking spray
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450F.
- Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel if they are moist.
- Mix together the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder before coating the chicken wings in it.
- Place the chicken wings in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan and spray the tops of the chicken with some cooking oil.
- Decrease the oven temperature to 425F and bake the chicken wings for 40 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark and spray the flipped wings with oil again.
- While the wings are baking, in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat, add the brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, garlic powder, and minced garlic along with ¼ cup of water. Bring it to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer and allow it to cook down until it’s thickened to your liking. Make sure to stir continuously. I simmer it for around 5 to 8 minutes. Keep the sauce on low heat so it doesn’t cool while your wings cook.
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a bowl and toss to coat with the soy garlic sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe yields four snack-sized servings or two larger portions if sharing is limited.
- Patting the chicken wings dry before coating helps achieve better crispness when baking.
- The sauce should be simmered until thickened to properly coat the wings with a sticky glaze.
- Flip the wings halfway through baking and lightly spray the flipped side with cooking oil to promote even crisping.
