Follow this recipe to make crispy, oven-baked chicken wings coated in a thick, sweet chili glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step helps achieve crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the dried wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crisp.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
  7. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy. Remove from heat.
  8. Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the sauce over the hot wings. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
  9. Return the glazed wings to the wire rack on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
  10. Remove from the oven. Drizzle with the remaining sauce just before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, do not skip patting the wings dry before seasoning.
  • Baking powder reacts with the chicken skin to help draw out moisture and promote browning.
  • You can make the sauce up to three days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before tossing with the wings.
