Plus, you’ll get new recipe ideas from me every week!Marinades are a great way to tenderize and add flavor to the meat. It’s especially good to use for tough cuts of meat as it tenderizes them while adding flavor. Even though chicken wings aren’t tough, it’s the perfect way to add flavor to this party food.There are many different varieties and flavors of marinade. However, marinades usually consist of some basic ingredients –&nbsp; sweetener, salt, and acid.Salt and sugar both break down muscle fibers in meat to some degree, but acid does a lot of the hard work. Once we have that covered, we can add a variety of spices and flavor enhancers to get just the taste we’re craving.I have my own opinions, but I figured I’d ask a group of people what they thought a good wing has and we all agreed – the chicken wings need to be tender and fall-off-the-bone, they need to be crispy, and they need a hot and tangy sauce!The chicken wing marinade recipe below makes about 3/4 cups, which we have found to work great for 12 wings. Cut it down or double it as needed, but don’t worry if you end up with leftover marinade.If you end up with leftovers, you can use the marinade as a sauce if you like. The important thing to note here is that you must bring it to a boil to kill any pathogens from the raw meat before using it. Then, whisk together a small amount of water and a tablespoon of cornstarch per cup of liquid you are trying to thicken and whisk it into the marinade mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously until thickened.Next step is cooking the wings. My favorite way to cook marinated wings is to grill them like this. You can also bake them at 450°F until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F, about 40 minutes, flipping them halfway though.Listen to our editor, Christine Pittman, explain briefly about how to make this recipe, with some great tips along the way, by clicking the play button below:Listen to more Recipe of the Day episodes here.PrintPrint RecipeMix ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.Place chicken wings in a large baggie, pour marinade in and let it marinate in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.Cook chicken wings with your favorite method.To Bake:Bake at 450°F until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F, about 40 minutes, flipping them halfway though.To Grill:Prepare grill for direct grilling over medium heat, around 350°F.

That’s because the dietary numbers for this website are calculated under the assumption that you will consume the full serving of food. For marinades though, you don’t actually consume the full portion. We’re not sure how to calculate the numbers differently. However, we estimate that about one quarter of the marinade is actually absorbed by the chicken and consumed. You can therefore reduce the amounts with that in mind.This post originally appeared in January 2019 and was revised and republished in March 2023.I love the flavors of this marinade. My husband and son love it when I cook the wings with this recipe.ReplyDelicious and easyReplyI admit, I didn’t have any hoisin so substituted with just BBQ sauce and still good. Did these on the grill, only marinated for 8 hours and came out so flavorful and juicy! Definitely saving and using again.ReplyI have used this recipe lots of times . The wings always go down well for bbqs or when people visit for drinks around our pool in SpainReplyMarinade was delicious. I added an orange and habanero peppers to enhance the flavor. Turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe!ReplyTaste goodReplyFollowed your recipe did a two hour marinate and finished with a BBQ method. Absolutely delicious, thank you.ReplyMade this delicious marinade with the addition of 2 tbsp horseradish and freshly grated garlic. Everyone loved it. Thanks for such a good tasting yet uncomplicated recipe!ReplyGreat recipe using cupboard staples.Although I did have to substitute for the hoisin with bbq sauce. Yum.ReplyHi Carol, excellent recipe, thank you!ReplySo simple to make. So delicious! Used fresh minced garlic rather than garlic powder! Yum!ReplyExcellent receipt. Thank you it is a keepe.ReplyI made this today. Marinaded the wings for ~7 hours before baking on a rack in the oven. They were very flavorful, not too sweet or spicy or sticky. My husband loved them too – he wanted more. This is a keeper. Thank you!ReplyDeliciousReplyI’m sure this recipe is great but when you completely leave out what to do with ingredients (brown sugar) and talk about bringing the marinade to a boil with no reference in the instructions it’s tough to follow for rookies.ReplyExcellent flavor. I took the liberty of adding a bit of dry mustard to the marinade. The guests at my org’s pot luck made every wing disappear.
