These Teriyaki Chicken Wings are always the first to go when I serve them at parties or on game-day. Take one bite, and you’ll understand why. Teriyaki is a Japanese sauce that combines savory with sweetness. And baking the wings keeps them nice and crispy, and healthier than the deep fried variety. You just won’t believe how amazing these are. 145% Loon Approved!

These Teriyaki Chicken Wings are always a crowd favorite. Be sure to marinate the wings for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to ensure best flavor. Then bake, apply the incredible sauce, and then bake again until cooked through and nice and crispy on the outside. Incredible.
