These chicken wings are a sure-fire hit at any party or gathering. Made with my favorite wings recipe of all time, the flavor of the sweet and salty marinade is what makes these sticky wings taste so good. They are baked to perfection, which creates tender meat, and if you like the skin extra crispy, broil them a few more minutes and you will be crunching away in no time.

I guarantee that if you serve these wings to your family, they’re going to ask when you will make them again.

Helpful tips

  • I buy my chicken wings in Whole Foods. The quality is always consistent and the meat tastes so fresh.
  • After you unwrap the wings, pat dry with paper towels.
  • You will not be adding any salt because the soy sauce is salty enough.
  • You will need to stand at the oven when you broil the wings because if you don’t check them while they’re broiling, the honey can burn and blacken.
  • The honey I use is thick and unfiltered, so I suggest heating the honey and soy sauce together. You’ll heat the sauce just long enough to melt the honey.
  • I use soy sauce but I’ve also used coconut aminos and it works wonderfully.
  • I use normal soy sauce but you can substitute with light soy sauce that has low sodium, and they’ll taste just as good.
  • Although this recipe would work in an air fryer, I choose to bake the wings because of how many I cook. Air frying would require multiple batches.
  • If you have leftovers, place the wings in an airtight container and store for up to a week in the refrigerator.

How to make honey soy chicken wings

Pre-step

Get a baking dish, large mixing bowl, rubber spatula, and metal spatula.

Step one

Gather the ingredients – patted dry chicken wings, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step two

Place the chicken wings into a big mixing bowl. Sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder on the chicken. (A)

Step three

Add the soy sauce and honey to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stand there and stir as you melt the honey. Don’t let the sauce boil; as soon as the honey has melted, take it off the heat and pour it over the chicken.

Stir to incorporate the ingredients. (B)

Step four

Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least a half hour. Stir and flip the chicken every 10 minutes while it marinates.

Step five

Ten minutes before the wings are done marinating, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step six

Remove the chicken out of the fridge and place it in a baking pan. You can let it pile up in the dish.

Step six

Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, take a metal spatula, and flip the chicken.

Step seven

Place the wings back into the oven and bake them for an additional 30 minutes.

Step eight

Since we love crispy skin, I take one of the racks in the oven and place it on the top spot. I set the oven to broil and place the chicken wings in the oven. I stand there and check after a minute to make sure the skin doesn’t get too blackened.

Remove and place wings on a platter.

Yum. I pour the honey soy sauce into a little bowl for dipping and plate some wings.
