Ingredients
Instructions
- Clean the chicken drumettes thoroughly.
- Mix soy sauce, water, ginger, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken in a 13 by 9 inch pan.
- Arrange the green onions on top of the chicken.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, turning the chicken occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For best flavor, marinate the chicken drumettes for at least 2 hours or overnight if possible. If you don't have ginger, you can use ground ginger instead. For a spicier kick, add a tablespoon of sriracha to the marinade. If you're out of soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos are great substitutes and work well in chicken recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These marinated teriyaki chicken wings are perfect served with steamed rice or a fresh salad. Consider pairing them with Sesame Ginger String Beans to add a crunchy side. You can also serve them as an appetizer at parties, alongside dipping sauces like sweet chili or a homemade teriyaki glaze for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover teriyaki chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but this may result in less crispy skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other cuts of chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use chicken thighs or drumsticks if you prefer. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Chicken wings work well, too, but may require less time in the oven.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make it gluten-free, simply substitute regular soy sauce with a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. Additionally, ensure that any other sauces or spices used are also gluten-free.
What can I do with leftover marinade?
It's not recommended to reuse marinade that has come into contact with raw chicken due to food safety concerns. However, you can cook the leftover marinade in a saucepan until it reaches a boil to create a sauce. Just make sure to simmer it for a few minutes to kill any bacteria.
