Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari, low sodium

- 2 cloves garlic, pressed and minced
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger

Pour the marinade over the wings and turn to coat them thoroughly. Cover the container or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour, turning several times to keep the chicken coated.

- Arrange the wings and boil the marinade. • Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange in the prepared baking dish. • Pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a full boil. Boil for about 2 to 3 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly.• Lightly baste the wings with the sauce.
- Bake the chicken wings. • Bake the wings for 25 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and turn the wings over. • Baste again and return to the oven for about 25 minutes longer.
- Serve. • Toss the wings with more of the thickened marinade just before serving.
Notes
✨ Air Fryer Option
You can make these wings in the air fryer for a quicker, crispier version. After marinating, arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed). Cook at 375°F for 24 to 28 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and cooked through. Meanwhile, boil the reserved marinade for 2 to 3 minutes, then toss the cooked wings in the thickened sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
