sticky glaze
Glossy food finish
A sticky glaze is a thick, sweet coating applied to food—typically meat or pastries—that remains tacky rather than setting hard.
The stickiness comes from sugars that caramelize but don't fully dry: The ribs were coated in a sticky glaze of honey and soy.
The term describes both the substance and the texture it produces.
