In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, white sugar, gin, mashed garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and teriyaki sauce to create a flavorful marinade.

3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for a quicker marinade, or preferably overnight for an intensified flavor.

Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F). It's essential not to raise the temperature too high due to the sugars in the marinade.

6
After about 15 to 20 minutes, check the internal temperature of the wings; they should read 165°F when fully cooked.
