Glazed Honey Garlic Chicken Wings are quite popular in my family not only because of the sauce, but also because of the ingredients. Ever since I get my little oven, I am testing baked Chinese style food such as Chinese BBQ, Shar Sui Pork, Shar Sui chicken etc. This recipe today is Chinese style baked garlic chicken wings with honey.
The sauce I used combines chopped garlic, oyster sauce, vegetable oil and light soy sauce. The marinade sauce is the soul of baked wings. Generally a longer marinade time can help the chicken wings absorb the taste.As a big fan of chicken wings, I made different types of chicken wings for example, red-cooked chicken wings and coca cola chicken wings. Do check them if you are a fan of chicken wings as me too.
Both mid joint or chicken drumettes are ok for this recipe depending on your own preference. I love mid joint and my husband loves drumettes. So I mix those two types together. Firstly after wash the chicken wings, we need to soak them in clean water for around 30 minutes to remove the raw taste.
Drain with pepper. Mix the chicken wings with the sauce in a container.Cover the container with plastic wrap and put into freezer for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best since the longer the marinading time is, the stronger the taste will be. If you are in a hurry, you can cut some scratch on the surface gently to help the meat absorb the taste of the sauce.
Place the chicken wings on the grill and lay one layer of silver paper on the ovenware. Place the grill over the ovenware so the sauce will not sprinkle on the oven. Set up the oven to 390 degree F and bake for 15 minutes, turn over and brush the other side with honey water and continue bake for 10 minutes. Then voila and Enjoy.

I stumbled upon your website as I searched for honey glazed chicken wings. I made this for oyr recent family gathering and everyone loved it. Thanks so much for a wonderful site with beautiful photography and simple yet authentic Chinese dishes. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your lovely feedback Amy. I am so glad to hear that your family loved it. You are such a great cook and wish you happy cooking ahead.
Does it taste as good if we fry/deep fry the chickens instead of grilling them?
Hi Thida,
Personally for this recipe, grilling might be the best choice. If you prefer to deep fry, then use breadcrumbs to coat the wings.
Thank you so much for the recipe, I love it!
Thanks Julie for the lovely feedback. Happy cooking in the coming 2016.
