Prepare the Marinade:
In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of brown sugar, 2 cups of soda, ½ cup of dark soy sauce, and ¼ cup of honey.
Add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 tablespoon of granulated onion, 1 tablespoon of granulated garlic, and 3 teaspoons of minced garlic paste.
Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined.
Marinate the Wings:
Pour the marinade over the chicken wings in the Ziploc bag.
Seal the bag tightly, ensuring there are no leaks.
Place the bag in a bowl (to catch any potential leaks) and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
Grill the Wings:
Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the wings on the grill and cook until they start to sizzle and develop a nice char, flipping them only when they release easily from the grill.
Continue to flip and rotate the wings to ensure even cooking and charring.
Glaze the Wings:
Once the wings have a nice char, move them to the top shelf of the grill.
Turn the burners down to low heat.
Brush the wings with Japanese barbecue sauce, close the grill, and let them cook for a few minutes to allow the glaze to become tacky.
Repeat the glazing process a few times for an extra sticky coating.
Finish and Serve:
Check the internal temperature of the wings to ensure they are fully cooked.
Apply one final layer of glaze before removing the wings from the grill.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sticky, savory, and sweet flavor-packed chicken wings!
