If you love a flavor packed, sticky and sweet chicken wing, this is the recipe for you! These baked chicken wings are marinated in an easy sauce, then baked to perfection. Serve these with some teriyaki rice or a simple homemade Caesar salad for an easy meal.

Why I Think You’ll Love These Chicken Wings!

  • You can make these the day before! The chicken wings flavor is even better if you marinate them in the rerigerator overnight, then bake the next day.
  • This is a large batch recipe ( 2-3 pounds of wings) and you can make them for dinner for a family instead of appies.
  • These wings are baked instead of fried, so less fat and grease!

Perfect for Dinner or as an Appetizer

Am I the only one who considers chicken legs and chicken wings a meal? Like, a serve-with-vegetables-as-a-side-and-call-it-a-day meal? I don’t ever make them as appetizers for our family, they are always the full meal deal for us. That said, I would make them (and have made them) for parties and get-togethers. However, don’t pass off wings as an appetizer; embrace them as your main meal. Kids and adults alike love chicken wings for dinner!

How to Make Sticky, Not Crispy, Chicken Wings

The honey in the recipe is what will really make these wings sticky instead of crispy wings on the outside. Add a bit more honey for extra sweeteness and stickiness if desired.

Baking the wings until they are really well cooked and the sauce has evaporated more on the outside will also help with the sauce texture.

It is harder to dry the wings out as they are coated in a sauce and are dark meat with lots of fat, so don’t worry about cooking them a little longer to make the sauce better!

Marinade Tips and Tricks

  • Make sure to use low-sodium soy sauce, or these will be too salty.
  • You can adjust the amount of honey to your own liking; these can be made sweeter with more honey if desired.
  • The wings are going to be a very dark color, especially if you mainate them overnight. Don’t worry, that is just the soy sauce coloring the skin.
  • As you can see in the photo above, you have enough marinade for a solid 3 pounds of wings ( I had about 2 pounds in the bag.)

These chicken wings were a really old recipe I made ten years ago, in 2014, so it was time for new photos! It is such a good, easy recipe for chicken wings that I wanted to make sure that you don’t miss out on it!

Happy cooking!

Love,

    Could I make these in the air fryer?

    • Karlynn Johnston says

      You can, you will have to use a liner in the air fryer as they are sticky, but then just cook them like you cook your normal chicken wings in the airfryer!
