TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THESE SUPER BOWL CHICKEN WINGS MARINADES
- For extra crispy skin on your chicken wings, try broiling them briefly after they have finished baking. Set broiler to high, place baking sheet with wings onto the upper rack, and broil for 2 – 3 minutes until skin is crispier but not burned. Keep an eye on them while they’re under the broiler as times can vary depending on how close the rack is located.

Sticky Soy And Garlic Chicken Wing Marinade
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- ¼ cup dark soy sauce
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (I prefer olive oil)
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, washed, dried, and chopped
- 1 tsp black sesame seeds
Instructions
Sticky Soy And Garlic Chicken Wing Marinade
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towel and double-check that they are clean. Set them aside so they can come up to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, chopped garlic, grated ginger, and vegetable oil. Use a large bowl!
- Then, add the chicken wings to the soy sauce mixture. Toss the ingredients together so that all the wings are coated evenly and well.
- Remove the coated wings from the marinade and place them on a lined roasting tray in a single layer. Do not let them overlap. That will cause them to cook unevenly and not crisp up on all sides. You can set aside the leftover marinade for later use.
- Leave the wings to bake for roughly 15-20 minutes.
- Then, remove them from the oven. Pour over the remaining marinade (that you reserved earlier).
- Add the chicken wings back into the oven and leave them to cook for another 5 minutes.
- If you'd like, you can switch on the grill element and finish them off for a minute or two. This will help that top layer caramelize. But be careful not to burn the meat!
- Serve the wings immediately with some freshly chopped coriander leaves and black sesame seeds.
