Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings
Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings. Crispy fried wings get tossed in a very easy to make honey garlic sauce just before serving. This method ensures the wings stay super crispy in the sweet sticky, finger licking good glaze.
Everybody loves wings, especially me and this is my favourite 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.

Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings
Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings - Crispy fried wings get tossed in a very easy to make honey garlic sauce just before serving. This method ensures the wings stay super crispy in the sweet sticky, finger licking good glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoon powdered ginger, to taste
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more or less to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and garlic. Saute to soften the garlic but do not let it brown.
- Add the honey, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon 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.
- Mix together the flour, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt and 1 tablespoon black pepper.
- Whisk together the eggs and water to make an egg wash.
- Wash the wings, pat dry, trim the tips and cut them into sections.
- 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.
