Soy Sauce and Garlic Marinade for Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are a great appetizer for kicking off your event in style. In fact they are almost required because they are such a popular appetizer, especially at Super Bowl parties. If you are serving chicken wings, they are sure to disappear fast if you choose a yummy marinade for chicken wings. Don’t forget the napkins and finger bowls. This one of my personal favorite chicken marinade recipes.
The following recipe is both sweet and salty. The sweetness comes from the pineapple juice and sugar and the salty flavor is from the soy sauce.
The ginger and garlic provide even more flavor. Let the wings marinade overnight for the most flavor. You can marinate 3 or 4 pounds (1½ to 2 kilos) of chicken with this easy marinade for chicken wings. Buy ready prepared wings in the store to save time or just leave them whole.
