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

• Soy sauce
• Honey
• Sake
• Mirin

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.
