Next to my moms tater tot casserole, these wings have been a family favorite for many years. I remember my besties mom making a batch of these Lemon Soy Glaze Wings one Friday night and we literally cleared the pan. They became one of my favorite ways to enjoy wings. So much so, my husband and I even served these at our wedding. They were a total hit and everyone loved them!
The sauce for this recipe is so good you can even turn this into a meal. Swap out the wings for chicken thighs or breasts, and serve with a side of rice or mashed potatoes. Make sure to double the sauce because you’ll want to pour it over everything!
The magic is in the sauce so however you choose to serve it up, we hope you enjoy!
