Follow this recipe to make flavorful chicken wings coated in a sticky, sweet chili glaze using only your oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil.
  2. Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels. This step helps achieve crispier skin.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the glaze. Combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  8. After the initial 25 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
  9. Toss the hot wings in about half of the prepared sweet chili glaze until well coated.
  10. Return the glazed wings to the wire rack. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is sticky.
  11. Remove the wings from the oven. Toss them immediately with the remaining glaze before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the wings are completely dry before seasoning with baking powder.
  • Do not skip the second baking period after the first glaze application; this sets the stickiness.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the glaze reduce longer before adding the slurry.
