Ingredients

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

Instructions

Teriyaki Sauce

  • Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar or sweetener, garlic, and ginger to a saucepan on medium heat.
  • Combine the cornstarch and water in a separate bowl. Stir until fully combined and then pour the slurry mixture into the teriyaki sauce.
  • Stir until the sauce thickens.

Baked Wings

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Season the chicken wings with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and add the wings to the pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes and then flip the wings.
  • Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken and place it in a large bowl. Drizzle the teriyaki throughout.
  • Optional (I like to add the wings back to soak in the sauce): Place the sauced chicken wings back onto the sheet pan and bake for an additional 5 minutes (same temperature). Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.

Air Fryer Wings

  • Season the chicken wings with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • If necessary, spray your air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Add the chicken to the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • Open the air fryer and flip the chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken and place it in a large bowl. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce throughout.
  • Optional (I like to add the wings back to soak in the sauce): Place the sauced chicken wings back into the air fryer. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.

Notes

If you need to thicken your sauce even more, add an additional cornstarch slurry, one tablespoon of cornstarch and one tablespoon of water.
You can substitute rice wine vinegar for white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or fresh lemon juice. Rice wine vinegar provides the best flavor.
You can substitute brown sugar or sweetener for honey or maple syrup. Add enough to suit your taste.
