Every party loves these mouthwatering teriyaki chicken wings! For a recent gathering, I made 10 pounds of these wings, and by the end of the evening, there were none left.

Incredibly awesome! I cut the sugar down 1/2 cup to make it WW friendly and used sesame oil instead. I also used 6 oz of pineapple juice and used water as the filler to bring it up to the correct liquid amount. I used the leftover marinade to make a sauce with stir fry veggies whisking in cornstarch and water. I served it over Spaghetti for a quick and easy lo mien.
Wonderful and flavorful! I used 1/4 C. Water, 1 C. reduced sodium soy sauce, and 1/4 C. of brown sugar instead of white. Also made 7 lbs of chicken wings, too. I did save 1 C. of marinade for dipping. I didn’t bother reducing it. Made some fried rice and egg rolls to go with them. I do cook the wings on foil lined sheet pans sprayed w/ cooking oil to keep the wings from sticking, plus makes for easy clean up afterwards. Sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving to elevate them, lol!
I made this recipe, and it was AWESOME. I didn’t use wings, I used chicken quarters and I am sure it was the same outcome as wings. I love ginger so I used 3 tablespoons. I also substituted the white sugar to monk fruit white sugar, and you wouldn’t be able to distinguish between the two. Fewer calories with the same taste. I had my own teriyaki recipe, but it was so fattening. This definitely will be my go-to recipe for teriyaki!
I have used this many times but, I always let them marinate overnight, 12-24 hours & I did take the suggestion to cut down on water a bit, and I think it did concentrate the marinade more, but have made it numerous times & always to rave reviews from family & friends. I don’t need any additional sauces to dip in, they are perfect as they are.
Excellent ! only used 1/4 cup water like others suggested. Marinated for 5 hours and it was incredible . Served with rice/quinoa mix.
Nope it was hard no matter what I’ve tried it always came out ban Than
Followed suggestion on less water, more pineapple juice. Changed white sugar to brown sugar and reduced to 1/2 cup. Marinated for 6 hours. Kept marinate and thicken with corn starch. Dipped wings into thickened marinate and dipped cooked wings into it and broiled for about 6 minutes. Delicious!
I used brown sugar and sesame oil… and they were incredible!
I used OJ instead of pineapple juice. I, too boiled down the sauce and spooned it on top. Ate them with fresh baked potatoes from my garden. Came out great!
This recipe is OK. You definitely need to make modifications to it though. If you follow all these crazy steps below, I promise you 200% it is worth the hassle. You will have the best teriyaki wings literally ever. If you have time, marinate it for longer than 1 hour (overnight) so more flavor can seep into the wings. I only marinated it for 1 hour and the flavor did NOT seep into the wings. The wings looked regular. If you’re short on time or just impatient (like me), marinate for an hour and toss those puppies in the oven. 350 degrees for the first half hour, 375 for the second half hour. While the wings are in the oven, make a second batch of sauce. Add double the requirement for citrus, and a bit more sugar OR honey (I suggest honey for a more contrasting, rich flavor), and lessen the water intake to just 1/4 a cup (you don’t want your sauce to be diluted. You want pure flavor). Then, season to taste. DO NOT ADD SALT. If your sauce is too sweet, balance it out with citrus, soy sauce, and vinegar. (You seriously need to be tasting the sauce after you add any amount of any ingredient. This is key. You will be rewarded.) I say citrus (not pineapple juice) because if you DONT have pineapple juice, LEMON and ORANGE JUICE (fresh squeezed) work perfect as replacements!! You can’t even taste the difference! Garnish sauce with cilantro. (Totally optional, but this step kicked my chicken wing’s booty up to the next level. It adds another flavor at the end. It’s just pure
Great recipe
This recipe is amazing!!!! I let the wings marinate overnight and the flavor is awesome
I made no major change to this but I did use less sugar. Splendor I use about 5 or 6 pack. It still came out very good!! I will be doing this again for the holiday. I love my Teriyaki chicken wings
SO EASY AND YUMMY!! I’m pretty lazy so I just bought a $4.00 bottle of Kikkoman’s garlic and green onion teriyaki sauce. Put the chicken wings in a gallon ziplock bag, poured half the bottle, shook it up and let marinate for a couple hours in the fridge. Dumped the whole thing in a big pyrex casserole pan, put it in the oven and done After about 45 minutes, I turned the broiler on and watched them like an hawk until they were slightly browned. SUPER DELISH!! Served with Birds-eye frozen veg steamer bag with water chestnuts and spent $2.00 on a quart of sticky white rice from my local Chinese place. 4 servings and cost about $13.00 total. I admit, cleaning the pan was the hardest part of this recipe. 🙂
I made these wings for a group of friends for a potluck luncheon and they were a hit. I read all the reviews and recommendations before I made them and followed some of the suggestions. I did not use water or oil but used a cup of pineapple juice and low-sodium soy sauce. I also used brown sugar in place of white sugar and grated fresh ginger and garlic. I marinated the chicken wings overnight and baked them the next morning for one hour. While they were baking, i boiled the remainder marinade and added corn starch to thicken it. The last 15 minutes of baking, I basted the chicken wings with the reduced marinade. They were delicious.. Other reviews said that their wings were a bit salty but mine were not. Maybe it’s because I used the low-sodium soy sauce. This recipe is a keeper and I will be making them again.
Absolutely delicious!!!! I did change a little. I used brown sugar, instead of white. I also used one cup of pineapple juice. I let the chicken marinate for three hours three. My three picky kiddos loved it! I served it over jasmine rice!
Our new favorite recipe for wings. Also tried it with thighs and drumsticks. Tastes delicious, but I did follow a few suggestions from other reviews and boiled down the marinade while the chicken cooked, then poured it over the chicken in the last 20 minutes of cooking. Made it for my daughter’s 2nd birthday and everyone loved it.
I made them following the directions except I made 4 pounds instead of 3 and my 3 kids ate all 4lbs I think I got a couple of wings. I’m making them tonight for the football game and have guests coming. I’m making 7 pounds this time. Hopefully that’s enough! Yummy!
…Great little recipe that comes outt Really Good!
Very good. Grandson loved them
I halved the recipe as I was using 8 bl/sl chicken thighs, I added 1/2 tbsp Sambal Oleck, used brown sugar and omitted the oil as I used a parchment paper lined pan. The taste was good, I thickened the sauce in the pan with Wondra then broiled for a couple of minutes to crisp the tops a bit. I think the water could be reduced as well as the sugar. My family enjoyed it overall.
