Thai Soy Glazed Chicken Wings

If you're looking for a delicious and unique twist on classic chicken wings, Thai soy glazed chicken wings are a fantastic choice. Bursting with flavor and perfectly sticky, these wings will elevate your next gathering or game day feast.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until all ingredients are well blended.
  2. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  4. Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later use.
  5. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
  6. While the wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  7. Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and brush them with the thickened sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Thai Soy Glazed Chicken Wings

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add some sliced fresh chilies to the marinade.
  • These wings can also be grilled for a smoky flavor. Just follow the same marinating process and grill them over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy.
  • Serve with a side of Thai dipping sauce or a cooling cucumber salad to balance the richness of the wings.

Thai soy glazed chicken wings are not only easy to prepare but also incredibly flavorful. Their perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy makes them a crowd favorite. Whether you're hosting a party or enjoying a quiet evening at home, these wings are sure to impress!
