What we love about these honey soy chicken wings
- These sticky wings are a great alternative to traditional buffalo wings, and since they aren’t spicy, they should please even the pickiest of guests.
- There’s no need for a deep fryer to make these wings. They’re baked in the oven until crispy, so there’s way less mess and they’re a little bit healthier.
- You can make a ton of chicken wings at once. I like to fill up two baking sheets with wings and bake them at the same time, so the recipe makes enough for a crowd.
Ingredients:
Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions listed below are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.
- Chicken wings – I like to buy my wings already cut into wingettes and drummettes with the tips removed, but you can definitely cut them up yourself.
- Baking powder – This is an important ingredient for making wings in the oven. It helps to crisp them up, so I don’t recommend skipping this.
- Honey teriyaki sauce – I make my own sauce for these wings, but you want to take a shortcut, you can definitely find honey teriyaki sauce in stores.
Melissa’s tips for recipe success:
- Make the sauce ahead of time. If you’re serving these for a party, make your sauce ahead of time to save yourself the hassle and dishes on game day. You can also use store-bought sauce if you don’t have time.

Ingredients
For the wings:
- 2.5 – 3 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- Sliced green onions (for garnish)
- Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
For the glaze:
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 4 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat your oven to 425˚F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. If you need to, pat your wings dry with paper towels. Mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl (one that is big enough for all the chicken wings.Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat. I like to use a rubber spatula for this to help get all the flour bits off the sides of the bowls.
- Bake the wings. Transfer the wings to your baking sheets and make sure there's adequate spacing between them to help them brown in the oven.Put the wings in the oven for 50 – 60 minutes, or until the wings have started to turn golden brown and their internal temperature reaches 165˚. About halfway through cooking, turn the wings on their pans and swap the baking sheets between oven racks.
- Make the sauce. Combine the honey and soy sauce a large saucepan saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the honey has melted. In a small bowl or jar, whisk the cornstarch until smooth. Add the slurry to the saucepan and stir to combine.Continue to cook until the glaze has thickened. This usually takes about 5 minutes. Then, remove it from the heat and let it rest until the wings are cooked.
- Toss and serve. When the wings have cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the glaze and toss the wings until they're evenly coated.Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
