Ingredients
10 lbs whole chicken wings
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup garlic powder
1 cup soy sauce
Scallions, thinly sliced for garnish (optional)
Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and arrange them in single layers on baking sheets.
In a large bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, garlic powder, and soy sauce, stirring until the sugars dissolve and the mixture forms a smooth glaze.
Add the chicken wings to the glaze and toss until all pieces are evenly coated on all sides.
Transfer the coated wings to the prepared baking sheets, arranging them in a single layer. Pour any remaining glaze over the wings.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the wings are cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F and the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Comments
This is a straightforward glazed wing recipe that checks every box for a Charlotte kitchen: all ingredients stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI without a special trip, and the cost per serving lands around $0.80–$1.10 depending on wing prices. The stated 20 minutes understates prep work by roughly 10–15 minutes once you account for trimming wings and mincing garlic, so plan for 30–35 minutes total. These reheat well in a 350°F oven, making them solid for weeknight cooking or meal prep, though the glaze can congeal if chilled; they're best eaten fresh or warmed through same-day. The recipe scales easily to feed a family and doesn't demand constant attention once the glaze goes on, but the large yield (14 servings) means you're either cooking for a crowd or freezing half.
