    These soy garlic wings are a little bit savory, salty, and sweet all rolled into one. Tender chicken with crispy skin and a wonderful flavor too. Pair them with some cooked white rice for a tasty meal, or keep them as a simple appetizer on game night.

    Speaking of rice, the sauce and flavor from this recipe was so good we actually made it into a dinner. Our Honey Soy Chicken Bites were inspired by these incredible wings!

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. Simple ingredients. We don't need anything too fancy to make this recipe work, and that's awesome. With simple ingredients like wings, soy sauce, garlic, and honey, we get fantastic results, and minimal shopping is needed.
    2. Easy to follow steps. There is very little hands-on work needed for this recipe, keeping it very simple and basic. Just bake the wings, prep the sauce, and toss them together at the end. We follow the same method with our Honey Buffalo Wings, and Honey Gold Wings too.
    3. Cheap alternative. Buying chicken wings precooked from anywhere can be pricey, but making them yourself can definitely help to save a few dollars here and there. Enjoy your favorite appetizer but with a frugal twist.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make soy garlic chicken wings.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Chicken wings- You will need 2 pounds of chicken wings (thawed) for this recipe. Most of the time you'll find frozen wings in a 4lb bag, so if you have some leftover, make sure to try our Honey Lemon Pepper Wings too.

    Baking powder- Add baking powder to help make the wings nice and crispy.

    Soy sauce- This is the base of the sauce. I recommend using a low-sodium soy sauce.

    Rice vinegar- Adding in some vinegar will help to make the sauce a little tangier in flavor.

    Sriracha- Use some sriracha or chili sauce to give the sauce a little kick of heat and flavor. Note that we also use sriracha in our Spicy Tuna Sandwich and Spicy Deviled Eggs and Sesame Garlic Ramen Noodles.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Soy Garlic Chicken Wings

    Step 1: Remove your thawed chicken wings from the fridge and pat dry with a paper towel. Allow them to rest as you prepare for the next few steps.

    Step 2: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.

    Mix baking powder and seasonings. Coat wings in oil, toss with seasoning. Transfer to baking sheet.

    Step 3: Add the baking powder, paprika, and garlic powder to a small bowl (Image 1).

    Step 4: Mix well to combine.

    Step 5: Add your chicken wings to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and toss well to coat.

    Step 6: Add in the seasoning mixture you just made(Image 2).

    Step 7: Toss well to combine (Image 3). You want all of the chicken to be well coated.

    Step 8: Transfer the seasoned wings to your prepared baking sheet (Image 4). Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the wings are golden and cooked through. Flip halfway through.

    Bake wings until golden. Microwave garlic sauce ingredients, whisk. Toss cooked wings in sauce.

    Step 9: While the wings are cooking, add all of the garlic sauce ingredients to a microwave-safe mixing bowl.

    Step 10: Microwave for 2 minutes and whisk to combine (Image 5).

    Step 11: Remove the chicken from the oven (Image 6).

    Step 12: Add to the large bowl of prepared sauce (Image 7). Toss well to combine (Image 8).

    Serve warm and enjoy!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. For crispier wings, I recommend lining the baking sheet with foil instead of parchment paper. Foil also makes for an easier cleanup afterward!
    2. To melt the sauce ingredients, you can use a small saucepan instead of a microwave. However, you'll still need a large mixing bowl to combine the sauce with the wings.
    3. Chicken Food Safety Warning. Ensure chicken is cooked properly by inserting an instant-read food thermometer; it should register 165°F. While the meat and juices may have a slight pink color, they should not appear raw.

    🍳 Reheating

    Microwave- I recommend laying chicken wings on a microwave-safe plate between two sheets of slightly dampened paper towels. Heat for 2 minutes or until warmed through. The paper towels will keep the chicken from drying out.

    Oven- Preheat your oven to 350F and lay your chicken wings onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-20 minutes or until fully heated through and crispy.

    Air fryer- Reheat chicken wings in the air fryer by laying them in an even layer in the basket and cooking at 360F for 5 minutes. You may wish to flip them over midway so that they can cook evenly.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    You can store your leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For the best tasting results, I recommend eating within two days and reheating again before serving.

    📖 Air Fryer Version

    Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F for 2 minutes.

    1. Prepare the wings as directed.
    2. Add wings to the basket of your air fryer in an even layer. Try to allow space between each for the air to circulate.
    3. Cook at 390F for 10 minutes.
    4. Flip the wings over to reveal the bottom sides.
    5. Cook for another 10 minutes.
    6. Create sauce as directed and toss the chicken in the sauce.
    7. Serve and enjoy.

    🥗 Side Dishes

    This recipe would pair nicely with just about anything, but it's also really tasty on its own too. We like to eat it with some fresh cooked white rice and sliced green onion. This turns our little appetizer into a full meal.

    For more tasty appetizers though, I'd recommend serving up some Crack Chicken Bombs, Guacamole Without Cilantro, and Mini Pigs in a Blanket.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How long does it take chicken wings to bake at 400 degrees?

    It'll take about 40 minutes to fully cook your chicken wings at 400 degrees F. That said, leaving the chicken in the oven for a few extra minutes only helps to crisp the skin even more, which is why we cook the chicken for about 50-60 minutes. Perfectly crispy and juicy results.

    Should you cover chicken wings when baking?

    No, you should not cover the wings while they are cooking. This is because covering the chicken will cause steam and moisture to be trapped around the wings as they bake, and this means that the skin will not become crisp.

    Why are my baked chicken wings tough?

    While chicken is safe to consume at 165 degrees F, you will find that chicken meat becomes fall-off-the-bone tender at closer to 185-190F. If your wings are fully cooked and tough, cook them a little longer for the meat to be more tender. Note you don't want to cook past 190F as that is when they'll start to dry out.
