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.

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.
Thanks for trying these honey soy chicken wings. :)
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.
That’s strange, maybe your glaze is too much.
It was yummy, but it had more of a Japanese teriyaki taste, than the usual honey-soy wings I was expecting.
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!!
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.
What is mirin?
Mirin is Japanese sweet rice wine.
Hi,what is mirin?
Did you adapt this recipe from other blogger?
Louise, this recipe is from a Taiwanese cookbook I read in my good friend’s house, it’s stated in the article.
These look SO good, I love honey-soy.
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.
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!!
