Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Chicken Wings (split into drumettes and flats)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step helps them crisp up.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  7. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  8. After 25 minutes, remove the wings from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
  9. Brush the wings generously with half of the prepared sweet chili glaze.
  10. Return the wings to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is sticky.
  11. Toss the hot wings with the remaining glaze right before serving. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Drying the wings thoroughly is key to achieving crispy skin in the oven.
  • For extra crispiness, you can bake the wings plain for 30 minutes, then toss with a small amount of baking powder and salt before the final glaze bake.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if you wish.
