Let’s be honest—buffalo wings get all the attention. But these soy garlic glazed wings? They’re the quiet overachiever. Sticky. Sweet. Salty. Packed with so much garlic you’ll be popular with other wing lovers and unpopular with vampires.
No deep fryer. No mess. Just baked wings tossed in a glossy, addictive glaze that clings to every ridge. Make them for game day, movie night, or a Tuesday. We won’t judge.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Wings
Pat wings completely dry with paper towels. This is not optional—dry skin = crispy wings.
In a bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until coated.
Bake Until Crispy
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Arrange wings in a single layer. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and crispy.
Make the Glaze
While wings bake, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and water in a small saucepan.
Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened and syrupy. Stir occasionally.
Toss and Serve
Transfer hot wings to a large bowl. Pour glaze over and toss until every wing glistens.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately with napkins. Many napkins.

Storage Notes
These wings are best fresh and hot while the glaze is still sticky. Leftovers happen sometimes (rarely).
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Air fryer at 375°F for 4–5 minutes or oven at 400°F for 8–10 minutes. The microwave will make them sad and floppy.
- Pro tip: Double the glaze. Save half for dipping. You’ll thank us.
