| Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings |
Everybody loves wings, especially me and this is my favorite recipe for Honey Garlic wings. They are essentially ginger fried chicken wings which get tossed in the homemade honey garlic sauce afterward and served immediately. The sauce is actually more of a glaze and not like the commercial bottled sauces that so many people buy. This results in crispy, sticky, finger lickin' wings that are irresistible. When I served them at a gathering of friends a little while back there was nothing left but a big platter of bones and some hopeful looks that there were more waiting in the kitchen.
Honey Garlic Sauce
In a medium saucepan add
2 tbsp olive oil
3 – 4 cloves minced garlic
Cook over medium heat to soften the garlic but do not let it brown. Add:
1 cup honey
¼ cup soya sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper
Simmer together for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool thoroughly. Watch this carefully as it simmers because it can foam up over the pot very easily.
Ginger Fried Wings
Mix together:
2 cups flour
6 tbsp powdered ginger
1 tsp cayenne pepper
3 tbsp salt
1 tbsp ground black pepper
Prepare an egg wash of 2 eggs and 4 tbsp cold water whisked together.
Wash, pat dry, trim the tips and cut into sections,
3 pounds chicken wings
Dip the wing pieces into the egg wash and then toss in the flour mixture. Drop the coated wings into a preheated 350 degree F deep fryer, filled with canola, peanut, or soy oil.
Fry until golden brown, about 15-20 min depending on the size of the wing pieces. While still hot out of the oil toss the wing pieces in a large bowl with some of the honey garlic sauce. Serve immediately.

I love itttt!!
They look pretty good so I'm going to try this recipe tonight! Will let you know how it turns out! :)
They were amazing and I am making them again tonight! Thank you so much! The only thing I did differently was to double fry them to give the wings an extra crispiness.. ohh yum!
My kids love this chicken they quote "It is so honey and it's so garlic" I love making this for them. I am making it again tonight! My husband and I were eating it for the first time and our breath was kinda smelly i think we put to much garlic LOL.
That's great Lesyondra...and as someone who had a roasted garlic and roast potato binge last night, there is no such thing as too much garlic. Spouses may not agree. ;)
will it be just as well cooking in a pot of oil? my deep fryer broke on me a while back!
Sure. Just be sure be safe and use a thermometer and keep the heat well regulated.
These are the best damn wings I've ever had...what a hit!! This recipe will be in the family for a long time!! Amazing!!!
Recipe: Is that 3-4 cloves of garlic, 3-4tsps/tbsps? of minced garlic Where does one find cloves of minced garlic?
3 to 4 cloves of minced garlic would equal about 3 to 4 tbsp minced garlic. I chop my own but you can buy chopped garlic in jars.
These sound great, but I don't own a deep fryer. Can they be baked first?
Hi Cindy. Yes you could try baking them on an oiled baking sheet with a little extra oil spayed on top of the wings. I'd recommend that you turn them half way through the cooking time. Alternatively, get a candy/frying thermometer and shallow fry them in about an inch of oil in a heavy bottomed frying pan or skillet. I did this for years. Just adjust your heat to maintain the 350 degrees, turn them over when golden and you should be fine. Barry.
if I was to bake this (as I have no deep fryer, how long/at what temp would I do so?
Excellent recipe, I added a some fresh ginger to the garlic and a little lemon zest. Thanks for a great Friday night meal.
Glad you enjoyed them. It really is a great recipe and the ginger sounds like a nice addition.
Great recipe. Had them tonight. Much better than store bought ones!
Thank you very much.
Oh I must try this soon...when all my kids in college will be home for the sem break, as I wont enjoy this eating alone... :P
My boyfriend doesn't like wings, how would this be if I did it with chicken breasts instead? The marinade sounds delicious. Thanks!
Sure Nicole.
Instead of using black pepper in the sauce, use 1 tsp (or to taste) of crshed red pepper flakes. It gives it that slightly spicy sweet taste
Ok, all you people who don't own a deep fryer...get over to Walmart and get one for $18. You can even do that in the dead of night so no one can see your shame. We are a family of slow food (google it if need be), grow-our-own, organic healthy food eaters and I'm telling you that this recipe has become our guilty pleasure. This recipe is so good that you may faint from delight! The only problem is that you just might want to eat them every night (my motto: you can never be too rich, too thin or have to much garlic). I have recommended this recipe to at least a dozen people and they all agree...best EVER. Thanks Barry
Just made a batch of these and it won't be the last batch I make either! yummo!
Made this for dinner tonight-and even though I don't have a deep fryer, they turned out absolutely brilliant! Thanks for all the sharing
Thanks for sharing. Made them for dinner last night - and were they a hit!!!
Made the sauce tonight and it was very good and eliminates a dilemma my boyfriend and I always have...he likes his wing sauce spicy and I prefer mine to be on the sweeter side. I added red pepper flakes and problem solved! We both really enjoyed it. The only issue we had was we always use pre-frozen wings because they are more convenient and we have LOTS of sauce left that we do NOT want to throw out. Do you have any tips for storing?
Just wondering I have chicken wings and my hubby wants battered shrimp too Do you think this sauce would possibly be good on fried shrimp too? or maybe just leave the sauce to the side for dipping the shrimp in. thanks!
loved this recipe btw, this would be my 3rd time making it again.
I would use it as a dipping sauce for shrimp. I've also frozen extra sauce on occasion.
SAUCE COOLING AS I TYPE!!!! DEEP FRYER HEATING!!!! UMMMMM CANT WAIT!
I DIDNT HAVE ANY GINGER BUT REGARDLESS THE FINAL RESULT WAS AMAZING!!!!!
this is probably a really dumb question but what is soya sauce? I wasn't sure if it was a typo and should just be soy sauce? from the rave reviews I cannot wait to make these!!!!!
Same as soy sauce. You will love these!

My batch is cooking right now! Can't wait to try these!!
I would like to make these for a graduation party...can they be done in a crock pot? Or at least served from one after cooking? They sound amazing!
I don't see how it's possible to fry in a crock pot.
get a pot and just use oil and a fryer basket check temperature with a cooking thermometer
shake wings in flour first, then dip in buttermilk.Then shake wings in mixture in bowl.Deep frie at 300 for 10 min. Can't wait to try sauce receipt. Meater
This recipe is amazing! Every time I make these wings they're a hit, and everyone asks for more! Def will be making these at the next gathering!!
This recipe was excellent. Instead of frying, I use the honey garlic glazed while cooking the chicken on my grill. Came out wonderfully! Thanks!!
it was sooo delicious!! my husband loved it:) (thats important lol)
