Asian Zing Wings Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin

Method
 

  1. Toss the 2 lbs wings with the 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp white pepper. Spread on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping the wings at the 20-minute mark, until the skin is deep golden and bubbled.
  3. While the wings bake, combine the 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in a slurry of 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp cold water and cook for 1 minute until glossy. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp sesame oil.
  4. Transfer wings to a large bowl, toss with two-thirds of the sauce, then return to the rack and bake for 5 more minutes at 425°F (220°C) to set the glaze.
  5. Pile the wings on a platter, drizzle with remaining sauce, and top with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and sliced 2 green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

The sauce can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in a sealed jar in the fridge. Give it a stir and a gentle reheat before tossing. If your wings are on the larger side, check the bake time guide in the tips section and add a few minutes rather than pulling them early.
