    labeled ingredients needed to make soy garlic chicken wings

    🥘 Ingredients

    Chicken wings- You will need 2 pounds of chicken wings (thawed) for this recipe.

    Seasonings- Using garlic powder and paprika will help to season the wings.

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

    Olive oil- You'll want to use some olive oil to help coat the chicken wings so that the seasonings stick well to the skin.

    Salt and Pepper- Added to taste depending on preferences.

    For the Soy Garlic Sauce, you will need:

    Butter- Adding some butter to the sauce will make it richer in taste.

    Garlic- Use fresh or jarred minced garlic.

    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.

    For specific quantities, see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make Soy Garlic Chicken Wings with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    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.

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

    paprika garlic powder and baking powder in a bowl

    Add the baking powder, paprika, and garlic powder to a small bowl.

    mixed seasonings in a bowl

    Mix well to combine.

    a mixing bowl with raw chicken wings inside

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

    seasoning topped with chicken wings in a bowl

    Add in the seasoning mixture you just made.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    I recommend clinging the baking sheet with foil instead of parchment paper as it will create a crispier skin on the wings. The foil also helps to make for easier cleanup later!

    You can use a small saucepan to melt the sauce ingredients together instead of a microwave, but you will still need a large mixing bowl to combine the sauce with the wings.

    Chicken safety

    You will know that your chicken has finished cooking properly when you can insert an instant read food thermometer into the meat hand have it register as 165 degrees F. The meat and juices may still have a slight pink coloration to them but it should not look 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 halfway 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.

    💭 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 wins 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.
