  3. 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.
  4. Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill and set aside to rest.
  5. 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.
  6. 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

  • I recommend for making my grilled chicken wings with chili garlic sauce is to let them marinate overnight if you can. I’ve rushed it before with just a quick marinade, and while they still turn out tasty, giving them that extra time really lets the flavors soak in.
  • Grilling: When using soy, food items and caramelize quicker than normal which means it can tend to burn. The lower temperature of the grill will give you dark grill marks without charring anything.
  • Sauce Tip: If the sauce's flavor is too intense, add a little soy sauce and water to help break it up.
  • Temperature Check: Wings are cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 165°.
  • Visual Doneness Check: Another simple way to tell if they are cooked is by simply slicing into the middle and ensuring all the meat is white without any pink.
  • Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 1 hour ahead of time. Keep them warm, covered with foil on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper in the oven at 200°.
  • How to Store: Cover them and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze cover with all of the sauce and keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
  • How to Reheat: To reheat them, place them on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper, cover them in foil, and bake in the oven at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until warm.
