Crispy baked chicken wings coated in a sticky, sweet teriyaki glaze that’s quick and easy to make, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 g) fresh chicken wings, tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (fine sea salt preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup (120 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings in a bowl with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings skin side up on the wire rack, spaced apart.
  4. Bake wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping once halfway through. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
  5. While wings bake, prepare the teriyaki glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  6. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Stir in cornstarch slurry and continue simmering until glaze thickens to a sticky consistency. Add water if glaze is too thick.
  7. Remove wings from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour warm teriyaki glaze over wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

Dry wings thoroughly before coating with baking powder to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda. Toss wings in glaze while warm for best coating. Broil at the end for extra crispiness but watch carefully to avoid burning. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and ensure baking powder is gluten-free.
