Soy Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings - Baked Chicken Wings
Description
Soy Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings begin by drying wings to promote crisping, then coating them with oil, salt, and pepper. After baking on a wire rack for 40-45 minutes at 425°F until crisp, a sauce is prepared by simmering honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, diced ginger, and water until thickened. The wings are then tossed in the warm sauce and returned to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to let the glaze adhere and intensify.
The result is wings with a crispy skin enveloped in a glossy, flavorful sauce combining sweet honey and savory soy, lifted by fresh garlic and ginger notes. These wings offer a balanced flavor profile and can be served as an appetizer or main with sides.
The recipe notes suggest using gluten-free tamari for soy sauce or coconut aminos for soy-free, paleo options. It recommends a heavy-duty baking sheet to avoid warping during the high-heat bake, ensuring even cooking and crispiness.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce see notes below
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely diced
- 1/4 cup water
Chicken
- 2 pounds chicken wings tips removed, and drumettes separated (24-26 chicken wings)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a paper towel to remove any moisture from the chicken wings.
- Toss the wings with the oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet then place a wire rack on top. Spread out the wings on a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until crispy.
- While the wings are cooking, make the sauce. Add the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and water to a small pot. Bring it to a boil and reduce the heat to low letting it simmer for 10 minutes - or until slightly reduced and thickened.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Remove wings from the oven. Toss the wings in the sauce and place them back in the oven on the baking sheet and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Notes
- For soy sauce, use gluten-free tamari or substitute coconut aminos for a soy-free, paleo-friendly option.
- Use a heavy-duty baking sheet to prevent warping during cooking for even heat distribution and crispiness.
