Sticky Asian Chicken Wings
Sticky Asian Chicken Wings are oven-baked wings coated with a sticky glaze made from oyster sauce, ketchup, orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, honey, and chili garlic sauce. The wings are initially baked with baking powder to crisp the skin, then broiled with the sauce to achieve a caramelized, glossy finish. The savory and sweet coating balances heat and umami. Garnished with toasted sesame seeds and green onions, they offer a juicy interior and sticky, flavorful exterior that works well as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds chicken wings or drumettes
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground

- 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce or more, to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a wire rack with nonstick spray and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; set aside.

- Place wings onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, using metal tongs to turn at halftime.
- In a small saucepan over medium low heat, combine oyster sauce, ketchup, marmalade, Dijon, honey and chili garlic sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl, combine wings and half the oyster sauce mixture. Place wings onto the prepared baking sheet and broil, turning once, until glossy and lightly caramelized, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in remaining oyster sauce mixture.
