Soy Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings - Baked Chicken Wings
These baked chicken wings are coated in a honey-soy garlic ginger sauce that simmers into a sticky glaze. The wings are seasoned, baked until crispy, then tossed in the thickened sauce and baked again to set the glaze. The combination of soy sauce and honey balances sweetness and saltiness, while garlic and ginger add aromatic depth.

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
- black pepper to taste
- salt 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.
