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.

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... 😛
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!!!!!
