Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, molasses, brown sugar, and honey. Add a dash of garlic salt. Reserve 1/4 of the marinade, cover, and refrigerate. Place the chicken wings and remaining marinade in a resealable bag, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours. (Marinating time: 5-6 hours)

02

Step

Remove wings and reserved marinade from the refrigerator 1 hour before baking to allow them to come to room temperature. (Time: 1 hour)

03

Step

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oiled rack on top. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Remove wings from marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the used marinade. Arrange wings on the prepared rack, spacing them evenly. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Baste wings with the reserved marinade. Repeat baking and basting twice more, every 20 minutes. (Bake time: 1 hour)

06

Step

Flip the wings and baste with remaining marinade; bake for an additional 30 minutes. (Bake time: 30 minutes)

07

Step

Flip the wings again and sprinkle with garlic salt. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for a final 15 minutes, until wings are deeply caramelized and cooked through. (Bake time: 15 minutes)

For extra crispy skin, broil the wings for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
The molasses can be substituted with dark corn syrup or maple syrup for a slightly different flavor profile.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and plenty of napkins!
