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.

its really delicious looking recipe. i chicken recipes.
I am going to be making this recipe tomorrow for the Super Bowl, but I can't wrap my brain around the 6 tbsp. of ginger powder. I feel it might be too strong... Is there a definite ginger kick?
A definite ginger kick yes. That's the way I like them but cut it in half if you like.
I have been cooking for my boyfriend for almost three years... He told me after eating these.... That it's the best thing I've ever cooked for him! Thank you for posting this!! I even went out to buy a fryer just to make this..... And yes it was a lil awkward! Haha! 😉
Made this tonight and the family loved it…even my 4 year old! Thank you! It was perfect!
Thanks for the feedback Sharon. This one is a favorite in a lot of families now.
Hi! I gonna try this recipe for tonight, before that can i check will it be spicy for the kids because of the ginger powder?
I don't consider giner to be spicy myself but I'd try it with half this time and see what you think. There will be a next time...trust me.
I forgot about these....I'm SOOO doing these again!! They I were a perfectly awesome!!! Thanks for the recipe! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm good!!
I forgot how awesome these were....I'm so doing these puppies tonight. They were perfect!! Thank you for the recipe!!! Mmmm mmmm good!
Enjoy!
I messaged almost exactly a year ago wondering about the amount of ginger powder. I decided to follow your exact recipe and I can tell you that many children, as young as 3 and 4 even, have eaten these wings and all adore them! The ginger must mellow out in the deep frying process and makes them something very special. I have had to fight people off to keep this "secret recipe" to myself. Everyone swears they've never, nor will ever eat another chicken wing like these! Your recipes are superb, Barry!
Thank you very much. I do think you are right about the ginger mellowing. It goes perfectly with the honey garlic sauce.
Made these tonight for my family. Everyone loved them and said don't loose this recipe! Can't wait to try the cause on boneless wings and at parties! Thanks for the recipe!!
Thank you!!!! I can't believe how simple yet how delicious these are. I will have to try it with the ginger powder next time since I didn't have any handy. Do you have any other flavors for the glazes?
Just search wings on the site. There are several varieties.
Tried this recipe on a whim. Made for some of the best wings I ever had.
Th best ever
These wings are so delicious! The flavors are all perfect with a good, sticky crunch. Thanks for the recipe.
One of my favourite wings. You have to make a big batch, there never seems to be enough of them.
How long does the sauce keep in the fridge?
Yes for a couple of weeks
