Honey Garlic Chicken Wing Recipe
Honey Garlic Chicken Wing Recipe: these delicious and inexpensive chicken wings only have 6 ingredients making them easy to make.

This honey garlic chicken wing recipe is an old favourite. I have great memories of my dad making it for dinner for our whole family as a kid. He used to use an electric frying pan…is that even still a thing? And I remember the chicken wings being sweet and sticky and delicious.
I don’t think my dad has made these since way back when, but I have made them lots. They’re easy and inexpensive to make and always a hit at a party or get together. Add them to your appetizer night, and everyone will love them. They are also amazing with homemade pizza for a pizza and wings night. They’re pretty much delicious anytime really.

Tips
When you are making these remember that the sauce will thicken more as it cools a bit, so remove it from the heat a little before it gets to the exact consistency you want.
We used a dark soy sauce for the batch we took these photos of. They were delicious. Normally I use a regular soy sauce and they’re a little bit lighter in colour. Either way is super yummy though.
With homemade honey garlic chicken wings, life really is a party!

Dumb, dumb question – what is soya sauce?
Hi Stacy, thanks so much for your question. I’ve always referred to it as soya sauce, but is in fact soy sauce, which I googled after your question. I quick survey of my friends revealed that I wasn’t alone in this mistake -it might be a Canadian thing? Anyway I will fix the recipe, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Best,
Dannyelle
