Grilled Chicken Wings with Chili Garlic Sauce
Description
This recipe marinates chicken wings overnight in a combination of hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil to infuse deep, layered flavors. The wings are then grilled at moderate heat to achieve dark grill marks and fully cooked meat without charring.
After grilling, the wings are coated in a separately prepared chili garlic sauce blended with honey and orange juice, creating a glossy and sticky glaze that complements the smoky, savory wings with a touch of sweet heat. Garnishing with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro leaves, and sesame seeds adds brightness and texture.
These wings are suitable for serving at gatherings or as a flavorful main or snack. They can be kept warm before serving, stored refrigerated up to four days, or frozen for two months. Reheating is done in the oven to preserve texture. Adjusting the sauce intensity is easily done by diluting with soy sauce and water.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 4 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup Chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- orange juice about, 1/3 to 1/2 cup, juice of 2 oranges
- green onion optional, sliced for garnish
- cilantro leaves optional, fresh, for garnish
- sesame seeds optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 400° to 450°.
- In a large bowl whisk together hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy, fish sauce, and sesame oil until combined. Once mixed combine with chicken wings, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Once marinated, remove the chicken from the marinade and cook on a preheated grill until dark grill marks have formed and the chicken is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill and set aside to rest.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together chili sauce, honey, and orange juice. Next, toss the cooked wings in this mixture until the wings are completely coated.
- Serve the wings on a large platter and garnish with optional sliced green onions, cilantro leaves, and sesame seeds. Additional optional garnish: orange slices and rice crackers.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken wings overnight or at least 4 hours to deepen the flavor.
- Grill at a moderate temperature to develop grill marks without burning, due to soy sauce caramelization.
- Check doneness with a meat thermometer (165°F) or by slicing to confirm no pink remains.
- Make ahead by preparing wings up to 1 hour before serving, keeping warm in a low oven.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months; thaw before reheating.
- Reheat wings wrapped in foil in the oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes to retain juiciness.
- Adjust sauce flavor by adding soy sauce and water if the chili garlic glaze is too strong.
