Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. Just ensure they are fully thawed before marinating and baking. This might extend the baking time by a few minutes, so check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
What can I use instead of teriyaki sauce?
If you don’t have teriyaki sauce, you can substitute it with additional soy sauce and a bit of brown sugar to achieve a similar sweetness and flavor. Alternatively, a homemade teriyaki sauce can be made by combining soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.
How can I make these wings spicier?
To add more heat, consider incorporating sriracha or another hot sauce into the marinade. You could also toss the wings in a spicy dry rub before applying the sauce or serve them with a spicy dipping sauce on the side for an extra kick.
