Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, sugar, wine, garlic, ginger, and ketchup in a bowl to create the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake the wings in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 30 minutes, basting occasionally to build up the glaze.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra depth of flavor, let the chicken wings marinate for several hours or overnight. If you don't have wine, you can substitute with chicken broth or apple cider vinegar. Adjust the sugar to taste, especially if you prefer a less sweet glaze. Consider adding sesame seeds or green onions as a garnish for a touch of freshness. This recipe can also be adapted for Stir-Fry Chicken With Pea Pods for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the teriyaki chicken wings with a side of steamed rice or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Chinese Chicken Sandwiches for a fun twist. Consider adding a vegetable stir-fry, like Almond Vegetable Mandarin, as a colorful and nutritious side. For a dipping sauce, a simple soy sauce or sweet chili sauce works well.
Storage & Reheating
Store any 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 (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them, but the oven method will keep the wings crispy.

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. This ensures that the marinade penetrates the meat effectively. If you're short on time, you can also cook them directly from frozen, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Can I make the marinade ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the marinade a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This not only saves time but also allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste of your teriyaki chicken wings.
What can I do with leftover marinade?
If you have leftover marinade, it's best to boil it for at least 5 minutes to ensure it's safe to consume, as it has been in contact with raw chicken. Once boiled, you can use it as a basting sauce or drizzle it over your cooked wings for added flavor.
