Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings
Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings combine a deeply flavorful marinade of sesame oil, garlic, ginger, hoisin, soy sauce, honey, and chili garlic sauce that creates a sweet and spicy glaze. Baking the wings in the marinade results in tender meat with a glossy, sticky coating. The wings are garnished with fresh red chili, green onions, and sesame seeds to add color and texture to the dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Marinade
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 inch ginger piece, minced
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoon mirin or Chinese cooking wine
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon five spice powder
Garnish
- 1 red chili chopped
- 3 green onions sliced
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- If your chicken wings are whole, cut them into 3 pieces at the joints and discard wing tips.
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or ziploc bag and whisk.
- Add the wings to the marinade, toss them around and make sure they are fully covered in the marinade.
- Refrigerate over night, or at least for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Place the wings on the baking sheet, don't discard the marinade. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, brush with remaining sauce, then place back in the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
- Garnish with green onions, sliced chili, sesame seeds and serve hot.
Notes
- Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or in a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes until heated through.
- Cooked wings freeze well for up to 6 months; thaw before reheating or reheat from frozen in microwave or oven for 15-20 minutes.
