Teriyaki Chicken Wings, Barbecued chicken wings, or fried chicken wings with hot sauce are as crucial on Super Bowl Sunday as the two opposing teams and their footballs. We want to tell you a secret. We hope you won’t upset with us, but we don’t care about the game. It’s almost sacrilegious, we know.
We just think there are some things more important on Super Bowl Sunday to cheer.
The importance of planning ahead
It’s the food! There you can see us cheering enthusiastically, especially for our Spicy Teriyaki Chicken Wings. Salty, sweet, and spicy, so good you don’t want to waste one single drop of that sauce. Lick your fingers, teriyaki chicken wings demand etiquette stay outside the door. We won’t tell anyone. 😉
You can make the sauce for the teriyaki chicken wings several days in advance. As you cook, slather the sauce on the wings. Don’t forget to paint the wings with more sauce when they are done.
How about some Grissini (breadsticks)?

Make as much as you can beforehand
Grill or bake the teriyaki chicken wings early in the day, then warm them in the oven just before serving. This method works well if you decide to make Spicy Barbecued Chicken Wings along with the teriyaki wings.
Tailgate Spicy BBQ Chicken Wings
And what would a Super Bowl party be without bowls of munchies sitting in every corner table? Our recipe Spicy Party Mix makes enough for countless bowls and then some. If you’ve read the story about the party mix you know how much our family loves it. Our oldest grandson loves it so much he once asked for it for his birthday. 🙂
Make Soft Pretzels with Spicy Cheese Sauce and freeze the pretzels. On Super Sunday, thaw the soft pretzels out and stick them in the oven for a short time before serving. The cheese sauce is great a room temperature.
Purchase the ingredients and assemble it yourself
Our oldest son made a fantastic Mediterranean Herb Antipasto Salad Platter. He couldn’t figure out why we were making such a fuss over it when he bought all of the ingredients, arranged them, and then poured a salad dressing over it. We tried telling him it’s the presentation!
Sometimes the easier it is, the better it tastes! Make a meat, cheese, and olives board. You can assemble it early in the day. This type appetizer you don’t need to heat or refrigerate during the game.
Spicy Teriyaki Chicken Wings a Super Bowl LI winner
This recipe is a real winner. We can guarantee that all you’ll have left on the plates and platter are a pile of clean bones. The only danger of hosting a great super bowl party is that your guests will want a repeat next year. 🙂

Spicy Teriyaki Chicken Wings Finger Licking Good Grilled or Baked
Ingredients
- 5 lbs. chicken wings tips and membranes between joints removed
- 6 cups water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chili-garlic sauce
- 1 cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 cup sweet soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds put in dry skillet and watch like a hawk so they don't burn
- 1 Tablespoon minced green onion
Instructions
- Trim the chicken wings.
- In a large glass bowl, combine water, salt, 1/4 cup of the chili garlic sauce and 1/4 cup of the honey. Stir until the salt is dissolved. Add the wings and chill for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- To make the basting and dipping sauce, in a small bowl, combine the remaining chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, Sriracha, remaining honey, vinegar, and ginger and mix well. Set aside half of the sauce for serving in order to avoid contamination.
- Heat the grill to medium high. Drain the thighs or wings and season them with sea salt and pepper. Grill the thighs or wings until golden, 15 to 25 minutes, turning as needed. DON'T turn too much. When the thighs or wings reach a golden color, around 155 F, baste them with the sauce, turning as needed until the wings are glossy, well coated and reach 165 F. ** Baking instructions in Notes.
- Remove to a serving platter and garnish the wings with the sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with the reserved dipping sauce. If you want to lick your fingers you have our permission-- it is acceptable and highly recommeneded.
Notes
Preheat oven to 400 F. set a wire rack inside each of 2 large rimmed baking sheets lined with foil. Drain the wings and season them with sea salt and pepper. Divide the wings between the prepared racks and spread out in a single layer.
Bake the wings until cooked though and skin is crispy, 45 -50 minutes.
Baste on both sides with the sauce. Bake for another 8-10 minutes.
Follow the rest of the direction as in the grilled wings. Adapted from Guy Fieri's Firecracker Chicken Wings

These look absolutely finger licking delicious! We are huge wing fans and my kiddos love teriyaki. We’ll be making this soon for sure.
Kylee from Kylee Cooks says
Teriyaki does very well in my household! My family would really enjoy these wings, they look amazing!
Veena Azmanov says
Finger licking good is perfect when it comes to Teriyaki. My kids love Japanese food but my Rhea is the one who never stops licking her fingers – This sounds so delicious. Love chicken wings made with sticky sauces.
Tatiana says
Homemade chicken wings are so much better that store bought ! Asian flavors add extra umami flavor and are absolutely fantastic in this recipe
Denay DeGuzman says
What a delicious recipe for spicy teriyaki chicken wings! I agree – they look finger-licking good. I can hardly wait to make this recipe on Sunday.
Julie Cohn says
I love teriyaki anything, but especially on chicken wings. I also like that these are baked, not fried. perfect for Sunday football games!
Amy says
Marissa I’m a fan of your blog and your teriyaki wings, omg droolings!! I can’t wait for game day to make these wings, but like you said, we care more about food, not the game right?
Marisa Franca says
Thank you for being a fan, Amy! I truly appreciate it. And I do think a lot of people enjoy the food more than the sport. but that’s okay – we still have fun.
Claudia Lamascolo says
you all sure know how to make a simple dish turn into a banquet. I dont know which I love more that antipasto try or the salad with wings. I will take alot of all please! The wings look great and I don’t care who sees me lick my fingers!
Jyothi (Jo) says
You had me at spicy! Oh my my….apt name those chicken wings look finger looking good. I really would like to be invited to your party! Every dish looks soooo goood!
Kylee from Kylee Cooks says
I held a super bowl party – but, the tv actually stayed off. Lol. We ate all the food and played silly games with our neighbors in our back yard (I’m in AZ – it’s not snowing).
Wish I’d seen these chicken wings before planning my menu – they look amazing!
Marisa Franca says
Hi, Kylee! I believe your party was a real winner! Love the idea of interacting with people instead of staring at a tube 🙂 You’ll have to try our wings and rate them. 🙂
Julie | Bunsen Burner Bakery says
Love the idea of grilled wings! I don’t deep fry at home, but we love to grill – such a great idea! Bundle up in a winter coat and hat and grill those wings!
Marisa Franca says
Hello, Julie! Grilled wings are great! We don’t deep fry a lot — only for special occasions and we fry outside. We don’t like the odor of “fry” inside. Let’s hear it for warmer weather and grilling!!
Leah says
These wings sound so tasty! I love all of your other ideas for the party for the Super bowl, or any party, haha! I only watch for the commercials!
Marisa Franca says
Hello, Leah! There are times when we get so busy with the food that we forget about the game. We start on a movie that’s on TV and decide to watch the end of it. 🙂
Giselle Rochford says
I’m not a football fan and I don’t live in the US anyway – but man do I wish I was/did now that I’ve seen all the super bowl food on blog and social media ?
Marisa Franca says
Hi, Giselle! If you make it to the States let us know and we can have a Super Bowl Party — food only.
swathi says
Your teiyaki chicken wings looks delicious, I have made teriyaki tofu, I bet these chicken wings are amazing. I am writing this comments in between the super bowl game.You can invite me any time for the party.
Marisa Franca says
Hello, Swathi! I hope you enjoyed the game. Our wings were amazing and we’ll just have to have a Super Bowl Party with just the food and not the game. 🙂
Megan Marlowe says
I love teriyaki flavored wings and didn’t know how easy it was to make wings until I made them at home recently. I am looking forward to the game, food, commercials and the half time show! I’m looking forward to enjoying a plate of wings during the game!
Marisa Franca says
I hope the team you’re rooting for wins, Megan. But regardless — we can all enjoy delicious food, right?
Kathryn @ FoodieGirlChicago says

Marisa Franca says
Ciao, Kathryn! Thank you for pinning. Hope you’re team wins the Super Bowl We’re for anyone who isn’t called Patriots 😉 You know, Indiana — Colts?? Have a great Sunday!!
Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy says
Homemade chicken wings are so good. Love that these can be baked or grilled. I will be happy when grilling weather returns to our neck of the woods. Until then…baked in the oven they will be.
Marisa Franca says
I guess you can say we cheated. We aren’t home but we are in grilling weather. We escape the cold as much as we can — our old bones can’t stand the cold. We just love to grill and take every opportunity to do so.
Manila Spoon says
Wow! You have gathered some delicious recipes here fit for a king! Love all the sesame seeds sprinkled all over your chicken wings as they sure add extra flavor and crunch to this yummy dish!
Marisa Franca says
Thank you! We love using sesame seeds in our Asian-inspired recipes and also our breads. 🙂
Natalie | Natalie's Food & Health says
Marisa, I would really love to be invited to your party. Everything looks sooo delicious, and these teriyaki chicken OMG it looks AMAZING! I’m a bit obsessed with chicken wings lately, and I’m always looking for new recipes to try. Pinning this! Thanks for sharing!
Marisa Franca says
Hi, Natalie! I know how you feel about wings, you can’t eat just one. 😉 Let me know how you like the wings.
Dene' V. Alexander says
These look like they’re finger lickin’ alright!! What time does the party start? I’ll be sure to be there with bells and whistles on and first in line for these wings!!! I’ll also take a to go box of 50!!!
Marisa Franca says
Hey, the more the merrier! I’ll just tell Hubby to thaw out 10 more packages of chicken wings 😉
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
I watch the commercials and the half time show and eat and my husband watches the football. Love the flavors on the wings and I might adapt it to something vegetarian. P.S, I just baked some Grissini last week and loved it 🙂
Marisa Franca says
Don’t you just love Grissini? My kids could eat their weight in those delicious sticks and you know they don’t weigh very much. Did you dip them in anything?
KariAnne Wood says
It all looks so good! I’ll be heading over. 🙂
Love that spicy party mix!
Happy day friend!
karianne
Marisa Franca says
You’ll be welcomed with open arms!! I’ll even give you some munchies “to go” and share with the family. Have a great weekend. Hugs!
Sharon Rigsby says
I’m with you! I don’t care anything about football and don’t give a hoot about the game but the food, now that is another thing entirely. I’m definitely making your Spicy Teriyaki Chicken Wings on Sunday. they look delicious!
Marisa Franca says
Hi, Sharon! I think they should make one Sunday a month Super Sunday whereby we can indulge in all that good food. What do you think? 😉
Byron Thomas says
These wings look divine! And, I should know; I’m a wing master. LOL. I’ve never tried a teriyaki wing though, so now I know what my weekend mission is going to be. Bring on the half-time show! 🙂
Marisa Franca says
Well, wing master, I think you’ll have a new favorite wing flavor. The teriyaki is really good and if you like it spicy, this is for you!
Stephanie@ApplesforCJ says
I have to agree that Super Bowl Sunday is more about the food and hanging out. I mean I guess sometimes I can get into a good game if it’s close. But seriously you need good wings and these sound amazing!
Marisa Franca says
Hi, Stephanie! Thank you. I think wings were made for Super Bowl!
Wendy says
There is football on Superbowl Sunday?! I thought it was all about food and commercials! 😉 Actually, I am the only non sports enthusiast in my household, but while they are watching the game, I am happily nibbling. These chicken wings do look finger-licking good! I also appreciate your list of other tasty ideas!
Marisa Franca says
I was surprised too, Wendy, when someone mentioned that there was a game going on. I have too much fun enjoying the food and talking to actually pay attention to a bunch of guys chasing a ball.
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
OMG that spread! I’m coming over to your house for the Super Bowl, mk? Definitely agree though, for any party I host that involves food (which let’s be real is all of them), prepping anything I can beforehand is a life saver!
Marisa Franca says
Oh I do agree, Erin. We’ve had family get-togethers whereby I didn’t prepare the food in advance and the guests were gone and I hadn’t even enjoyed the company. 🙁
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes says
The food is my fav part too! Although I am really looking forward to Lady Gaga’s halftime show (fangirl!). And, of course, the commercials!
Marisa Franca says
I think the actual football game is just an excuse for everything else! 🙂
Jovina Coughlin says
I am coming to your super Bowl party. Lots of scrumptious foods.
Marisa Franca says
You’re invited! Not guaranteeing we’ll watch the game but we’ll have lots of food and I’m sure great conversation!!
Jovina Coughlin says
Indeed I bet you are! Have a happy weekend.
Maria Eberle says
You should come with Duke and I and share these. 🙂
Marisa Franca says
Hi, Maria!! It sure sounds like fun but we are already committed. Got your card — it was our pleasure 🙂 Have a great weekend.
