Description
What if I told you these teriyaki chicken wings are baked, not fried, and still taste incredible? Crispy, sticky, and sweet? The snack you didn’t know you needed.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 chicken thighs (or wings if you’re feeling traditional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (trust me, it works); if you do not have maple syrup, feel free to use honey.
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper (just a pinch of both)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400°F.
- Spread the chicken thighs out in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Give them some space to get nice and crispy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, teriyaki sauce, ketchup, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Pour that sauce over the chicken.
- Make sure every piece gets coated.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for about an hour.
- Turn the chicken occasionally so it cooks evenly and soaks up all that saucy goodness.
The original recipe called for honey, but I swapped in maple syrup because that’s what I had on hand. Honestly? It’s a game-changer. The slight caramelized flavor pairs perfectly with the teriyaki.
Serve these up as-is or with Artichoke, Bacon, and Kale with shaved Parmesan,
