Honey Barbecue Chicken Wings

About this dish

Taiwanese night market chicken wings marinated in a sweet and savory honey-soy glaze, then grilled until the skin turns golden brown and slightly caramelized. The wings are cooked in vertical ovens or over charcoal grills, with vendors continuously basting them to build up layers of sticky, flavorful coating. The marinade typically includes honey, soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and five-spice powder, creating a distinctly Taiwanese sweet-salty flavor profile. The meat stays juicy inside while the skin becomes crispy and lacquered. Found at nearly every night market barbecue stand, these wings are often enjoyed hot off the grill while walking through the market.
