Soy Honey Chicken Wings are perfectly sticky and sweet. Great for game day snacking, or pair with a salad for an easy dinner.
Soy honey chicken wings are a "must" whenever football is on the agenda. Even though I have lamented that we have spent many of our weekend hours watching football over the past couple of weeks, I feel I must confess. I genuinely look forward to an afternoon on the couch, watching some bone-crunching tackles and the finesse of a well-tuned offense.
It's not just the gratuitous snuggle time with my boys. It's not just the snacks. Well, maybe it's the snacks a little. Rather, I am a sports lover, through and through. My girlfriends just shake their heads when I start talking about who's got the best defense or what NHL team is on the road to the Stanley Cup.
Even though the outcome of one game will not change the state of the world, it gives us the opportunity to escape from these realities for a few hours. There's something to be said for that.
With the Super Bowl on the horizon, I am putting together a list of game day snacks that will keep the troops happy while watching the game. Since fist-pumps and high-fives are an integral part of the game, snacks that require only one hand to eat are essential.
A variation of this chicken wing recipe has been in my recipe box for many years, generously given to me by an old friend in Vancouver. Tossed in a sauce made of soy sauce, honey, and ginger, these wings offer an enticing balance of sweet and salty.
How to make Soy Honey Chicken Wings:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, canola oil, rice vinegar, garlic cloves, and chopped fresh ginger.Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower heat and let gently simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Place the chicken wings (split) in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken wings and toss gently until all of the wings are coated.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the skin on the wings begins to darken, turning the wings occasionally, about 1 hour. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve.

Made these today and I'm a huge fan; such a great mix of flavors! I marinated my wings in buttermilk and ginger for 12 hours while I went to work and I got such a nice, juicy result. Cheers on the great recipe; thank you!Reply
