Honey Glazed Roasted Chicken Wings
This is a classic item from Cantonese-style BBQ shops (Siu Laap). You’ve probably seen them in China Town alongside roasted duck, crispy pork belly, and char siu. Honey glazed wings are my all-time favorite—and they’re so easy to make.
Everything you need
Glaze
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon water (optional)
Marinade
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 inch ginger, crushed and diced
- 4 -5 cloves garlic, crushed and diced
- 3 scallions , diced
Method
Step 1
Make the marinade: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 2 tablespoons honey, 1.5 teaspoons salt, crushed ginger, garlic, and scallions. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
Prepare the chicken: Use paper towels to absorb any excess moisture from the chicken wings so that the marinade isn’t diluted.
Step 3
Marinate the chicken: Place all the wings in a zip-lock bag with the marinade. Massage the bag for about 5 minutes to ensure even coating, then refrigerate overnight.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 420°F. Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange them on a baking rack. Bake for 25 minutes.
Step 5
Flip the wings: After 25 minutes, flip the wings and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until the color is even and crispy.
Step 6
Glaze the wings: Brush the wings with 3 tablespoons honey. Serve immediately.
