Spicy wings with teriyaki sauce

4 servings

30 minutes

Spicy wings with teriyaki sauce are a vibrant combination of crispy texture and rich sweet-salty flavor. This recipe is inspired by Japanese cuisine, where teriyaki sauce holds a special place due to its depth of flavor and aromatic caramelized glaze. The wings go through several preparation stages: first, they are marinated in a spicy marinade, then breaded with paprika, and finally fried to a golden crust. In the end, they are coated with thick teriyaki that gives the dish a characteristic shine and soft sweetness with light notes of soy sauce and honey. Perfect for parties, friendly gatherings, and those moments when you crave something spicy, crispy yet refined. It is recommended to serve with fresh vegetables or rice to balance the rich flavor of the sauce.
