Soy garlic chicken wings are sweet and tangy and perfect for dipping in creamy ranch or blue cheese. Enjoy these during the next football game or any night of the week!

We love a good wing in our house. I just shared a recipe for dry rub chicken wings. If you haven’t checked them one out, I suggest you do. They are super easy, crispy, and flavorful with juicy meat on the inside.

Now, if you’re craving a saucy coated wing- this one’s for you. These wings start by being baked in the oven until skin turns crispy, and the meat cooked perfectly. Then they are tossed in a delicious homemade soy sauce garlic sauce.

I kept these mild so that our kids would enjoy them too, but feel free to add hot sauce or even crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce to kick up the heat.

Whip up some Homemade Ranch Dressing or copycat Wingstop Ranch for dipping.

Ingredients

Chicken wings: We use a mix of flats and drumettes because I prefer flats and my husband prefers the drums. Use whatever you like!
Baking Powder: This is used to help crisp up the wings when baking in the oven. I prefer to use an aluminium free version.
Soy sauce: I generally use liquid aminos from Braggs brand because that’s what I keep on hand in our pantry. You can use soy sauce, reduced sodium soy sauce, or coconut aminos for this recipe.
Garlic: Fresh minced garlic, and lots of it.
Honey: For a bit of sweetness. You can also use brown sugar if you don’t have honey on hand.
Butter: Similar to adding butter to Buffalo sauce to make wing sauce, adding butter adds a richness to the sauce, and helps it to coat the wings.
Seasoning: A mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to help season the wings before baking.

How to make soy garlic wings

Step 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

Pat wings dry with a paper towel and place them into a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl combine baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

Pour mixture over chicken wings, and toss to coat thoroughly.

Step 2. Arrange on a baking sheet and put in the preheated oven, Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 3. While the chicken wings are baking, prepare the sauce.

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add minced garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, and honey. Whisk to thicken and for for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4. Pour sauce over wings and use tongs to coat all of the wings with the wing sauce.

Serve immediately.

Recipe tips

If using frozen wings, allow them to thaw first. This will enable you to coat them with the seasoned baking powder mixture. If they are frozen, it will not stick.
For a little extra crisp, spray the wings with a bit of cooking spray before baking.
To help prevent sticking, use parchment paper or a silicone mat on your baking sheet.
