About Teriyaki wings

Teriyaki wings are a popular dish rooted in Japanese cuisine, where traditional teriyaki sauce is used to glaze grilled or baked chicken wings. The sauce typically consists of soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger, giving the wings their distinctive sweet and savory flavor. Nutritionally, teriyaki wings are a moderate source of protein due to the chicken, while the sauce adds carbohydrates and sodium. A typical serving of 3-4 teriyaki wings can contain about 150-200 calories, 15-20 grams of protein, 7-10 grams of fat, and 600-800 mg of sodium, depending on preparation. While flavorful and rich in protein, they should be enjoyed in moderation due to the high sodium and sugar content in the sauce.

Health Benefits

• Chicken contains B vitamins, particularly niacin (B3), which aids in energy metabolism and skin health.
• Ginger, often an ingredient in teriyaki sauce, has anti-inflammatory properties due to its bioactive compounds like gingerol.
