Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder in a flat pan.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade and turn until coated.
- Marinate the wings in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the wings in the same pan and bake for 1 hour.

Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil or a pinch of crushed red pepper to the marinade. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, increase the brown sugar slightly. For a healthier twist, you can use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content. Serve the wings with a side of fresh vegetables or rice, which pairs beautifully with chicken recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These chicken wings are perfect for game day or casual gatherings. Serve them with a side of carrot and celery sticks along with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. They also pair well with rice or a refreshing salad. For an Asian-inspired meal, consider serving them alongside steamed jasmine rice and sautéed bok choy.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover chicken wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes to regain their crispiness. You can also microwave them, but this may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings, but it's best to thaw them completely before marinating for even flavor absorption. Plan ahead by leaving them in the refrigerator overnight to ensure they're fully defrosted.
What can I substitute for Dijon mustard?
If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard or a mix of honey and regular mustard as a substitute. The flavor will be slightly different but will still provide a nice tang to the marinade.
How can I make these wings spicier?
To add heat to your chicken wings, consider incorporating chili paste or hot sauce into the marinade. You can also sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the wings before baking for an extra kick!
