These Honey Soy Glazed Chicken Wings are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, featuring a sweet and savory glaze that will have everyone asking for seconds.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and ginger until well combined.
Ensure the honey is fully dissolved in the soy sauce for an even marinade.
Place the chicken wings in a large resealable bag or container and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Using aluminum foil prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet, reserving the marinade.
Space the wings out evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade every 15 minutes.
Basting helps to build up a flavorful glaze on the wings.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
Adding garnishes like sesame seeds or green onions enhances the presentation and flavor.
