Sweet Chili Wings Recipe
Description
Sweet Chili Wings use bone-in chicken wings baked at a high temperature for a crispy exterior with moist meat inside. The wings are seasoned simply with salt and pepper before initially baking. A sauce blending honey BBQ sauce, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes is whisked and brushed onto the wings twice during baking. This repeated glazing builds a glossy, sticky coating that carries a sweet and savory profile with a gentle heat from red pepper flakes. The wings are baked until fully cooked at 165℉.
The combination of the honey BBQ and sweet chili sauces adds a fruity sweetness balanced by the soy's saltiness and the aromatic garlic and onion powders. The methodical brushing and baking deliver layered flavor and texture, making these wings suitable to serve as appetizers or part of a casual meal.
The recipe notes suggest storing leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freezing for 3 months, making them practical for make-ahead or batch cooking.
