Sticky Honey Soy Chicken Wings
I love these gorgeous and absolutely scrumptious honey soy chicken wings. I chanced upon a similar recipe from a Taiwanese cookbook in my good friend’s home and that inspired me to make these wings.
Main Ingredients
Therefore, this is my version of these chicken wings using
How To Make Honey Soy Chicken Wings
First you marinate the chicken wings, then you bake them in the oven.
During the baking process, you glaze it with the honey soy sauce a couple of times so the chicken wings soak up all the goodness of the glaze. Do it a couple of times and you are good to go.
These chicken wings are delicious and can be served any day, occasions, and great for parties. The taste is absolutely savory, sticky sweet (in a good way) and finger-licking good.
If you love chicken wings, you would love them.

Jayne @ Tenacious Tinkering
The new facelift looks really sleek and clean! I really like it :-). Do you do the whole thing yourself? Also, this recipe seems perfect for a weekday dinner! 30 mins marination and 15 mins cooking. We love chicken wings especially with sticky glazes.

Jayne, thanks for your note. No way, but I know exactly what I wanted and the amazing design/developer team did it for me. :)

Do you have the nutritional information for this recipe?
Rasa Malaysia
No.

Can I leave out the sake?
Rasa Malaysia
You can use Chinese rice wine (clear and no color). Leaving it out will not be as good.

These look really tasty! :)

If I use gluten free soy sauce will it work?

Hello dear…i want to ask u what ingredient to substitute mirin and sake for muslim?
Rasa Malaysia
Sorry there is no substitution that is without alcohol, you can skip them but they won’t taste the same.
mekko
Made these alongside coleslaw and fresh rice the other day! They were delicious. Will definitely make them again.
Mel
Are there any other sweet wine substitution for the Mirin for a last minute “throw together” feast? Thanks.
Rasa Malaysia
Just use sugar.
Salome Natalie
These look and sound amazing. I love that they’re baked too because as much as I love fried chicken I don’t love smelling like it for the rest of the day! Definitely making these soon!!
Shonda Penhollow
Very good, but a little more soy than honey flavor for my taste. Still, they were quick, easy, and certainly all got eaten, so while I may tweak the recipe a bit next time, they were quite good as is.
Reanna Thompon
These look SO good, I love honey-soy.

Did you adapt this recipe from other blogger?
Rasa Malaysia
Louise, this recipe is from a Taiwanese cookbook I read in my good friend’s house, it’s stated in the article.
Geraldine
Hi,what is mirin?
Geraldine
What is mirin?
Rasa Malaysia
Mirin is Japanese sweet rice wine.
Ellen
Hey Louisa, Did you mean to be rude-cause you were. Why are you questioning where the recipe came from; just use it and move on!!
Lee
Ellen, if you can respond to someone two years after they posted a question, I suppose I can respond to yours two years after you did. She wasn’t rude. It was a question, and it is perfectly appropriate to question where a recipe came from in this age of rampant “borrowing”. The creator clearly stated in the article it was inspired by a friend’s Thai cookbook recipe, and she answered as such. Case closed.
Tanya
It was yummy, but it had more of a Japanese teriyaki taste, than the usual honey-soy wings I was expecting.
Jan
I used rice wine vinegar (instead of wine) in the marinade and glaze – both were delicious. However, the chicken wing skin was really soggy and not crisp at all. Next time I may bake them without the glaze and add it after or serve it on the size. I also broiled these towards the end.
Rasa Malaysia
That’s strange, maybe your glaze is too much.
Marjorie Merchant
Rasa love your recipes. They are easy and always taste great. I bought chicken wings just to try this recipes as you don’t have to fry them. I love fried food but hate the mess so baking them in the oven is great. Thanks for your recipes.
