If you like your wings spicier, you can bump up the amount of cayenne pepper you add. These wings are always asked for by family when they come visit. They’re one of my husband’s and father-in-law’s favorites – always served with lime and a nice cold beer.

Chicken wings in the marinade

Making succulent soy ginger chicken wings is quite easy. The first step involves combining all the ingredients into a large glass or stainless mixing bowl. Next, add in the chicken and coat it with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours minimum. It can refrigerate over-night. During that time, stir and redistribute the marinade over the chicken several times.

Don’t forget the limes!

Here’s a tip

I find it’s best to cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick baking spray prior to baking. This allows for an easier clean-up. Once the chicken wings are baked squeeze fresh lime juice all over them. This adds a delicious citrusy flavor and acidity.

6. 1/2 tsp cayenne (ground)

7. 2 cloves garlic (crushed)

10. In a large bowl combine all ingredients for the marinade (everything except chicken and limes) and stir. Now add the chicken and stir. Coat the chicken well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours minimum. It can refrigerate over-night. During that time, stir and redistribute the marinade over the chicken several times.

11. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with vegetable spray. Place the chicken wings on the baking sheet and bake for about 20 – 25 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway through the cooking time. Prior to serving, squeeze a little lime juice over all the wings (about half a lime).
