Sticky Soy Chicken Wings are marinated in a soy sauce/brown sugar mixture and then baked for an hour. The marinade caramelizes in the oven and turns wonderfully sticky.
These Sticky Soy Chicken Wings have a little heat and a little sweetness and so much flavor. Perfect for gameday or as a party apppetizer. Serve them on their own or with Ranch dressing or Blue Cheese dressing for dipping. They have a little Asian flavor to them and are finger-licking good.
The simple 6-ingredient marinade really packs the flavor. There’s soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper.
You’ll want to marinate the wings for 2 to 24 hours. The longer you marinate them, the more flavor they will soak up. The marinade has a little sweetness with 1/3 a cup of brown sugar. If you want them to be sweeter, add 1/2 a cup of brown sugar.
I typically like my wings really crispy, but I have to say these sticky wings are addicting. Be sure to serve them with plenty of napkins. These wings make a mess.
Baking wings in the oven is so easy and so delicious. You do want to make sure you cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. The glaze will get really burnt onto your baking sheet if you don’t and you will be scrubbing all night.

DELICIOUS! I cooked mine in the air fryer. Will keep recipe for future occasions!!
Really liked these wings although I had to improvise with some ingredients that I didn’t have. I didn’t add the cayenne pepper cause we don’t do heat at our house. I did add about 4 oz. of beer to the marinade to give a little ummph!
Excellent recipe. Easy and very tasty.
Can these be baked ahead of time and reheated?
Making these for the first time and couldn’t wait to taste so I stuck one in the microwave and OMG I can’t wait til dinner, These are so good…Thanks, for these always looking for great recipes and this is certainly one…And haven’t even baked them off yet…But even Microwaving gives it 5 stars in my book.
I’ve made this SO many times to rave reviews..Only substitution is sliced fresh jalapeños instead of cayenne for the heat..
I serve it with raw veggies and Ranch/ bleu cheese dressing.
easy clean up, easy prep ..
love this..thank you!
I posted pics on a local cooking site, and of course I mentioned my recipe source.. yours..😊
I’ve made these wings a few times and they are so good. My family loves them. I make 7lbs of wings and none are left. Delicious!!! I highly recommend.
So happy your family loves them Donna!
Made a triple recipe, everyone loved the wings! Making it again tomorrow with double the cayenne pepper and added fresh minced garlic to the marinade.
Huge hit with adults and children alike. I marinated for 24 hrs. So pleased with the outcome. Thank you for sharing.
Best chicken wing recipe I have tried. The key is allowing marinating as long as you can. Putting another batch in the oven right now
