There’s plenty of Asian flavor going on with these chicken wings. Soy sauce adds salty/sour umami and toasted sesame oil brings an earthy nutty flour, with plenty of garlic, lime, and yes, red hot Sriracha for heat. Add a lot or add a little, it’s up to you. How hot do you like it? How long it takes: 10 minutes to prep, 45 minutes to bake Equipment you’ll need: large bowl, baking rack and pan, oven, saucepan, stove Servings: 4 (3 wings each) Whether you’re serving these wings for dinner or as an appetizer, you’ll find that they disappear quickly. Plan on three to four wings per person as an entree. And if you’d rather have drumsticks, they work fine with this recipe, too. 

About these wings

These wings are baked in the oven first, then coated with sauce before serving. If you prefer to use your air fryer to bake the wings, make air fryer chicken wings and add the same sauce. I’ll give you a quick run through of how to make these wings with lots of extra tips and ideas.

What You’ll Need

Chicken Wings: You’ll need about one and a half pounds, which works out to about 12 wings. Seasoned Flour Mixture: Mix together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt to season the wings. Soy Sauce: Choose low sodium if possible. If you can’t find it, omit the salt from the first step. Sesame Oil: Buy toasted sesame oil which adds a distinctive nutty flavor. Plain sesame oil doesn’t really as much flavor. Lime Juice: Buy a lime and squeeze it! Freshly squeezed lime juice is so much better than bottled lime juice. Garlic: Use a lot or a little, you decide. Sriracha: Just a little but feel free to add more if you like spicy wings! Cornstarch: A teaspoon of cornstarch adds a little more consistency to the sauce because it acts as a thickener. Sesame Seeds, Sliced Green Onions, Chopped Parsley or Cilantro for garnish, if desired.

How To Make This Recipe

What goes well with Asian chicken wings?

If you’re making the wings for dinner, they’re a perfect match with jasmine rice and a vegetable. Since you already have the oven on, put in a pan of vegetables to roast, like roasted broccoli, sweet potato wedges with Chinese five spice, or roasted sugar snap peas.  After the wings are coated, bake them in the oven on a rack placed inside a sheet pan. For easy cleanup, line the sheet pan with foil. The wings will take forty to forty-five minutes to get done. Meanwhile, when the wings are almost done, stir up the sauce ingredients and bring them to a simmer in a small saucepan. This is the second step (remember, I said it was a two step recipe!). Put the sauce and the wings in a big bowl and toss them together. Your Asian chicken wings are ready to serve. Yummy! Wings make a great appetizer, too. Everyone loves finger-licking wings. Serve them alongside chicken lettuce wraps and bacon wrapped water chestnuts. Make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand!

Make It Your Own

If you prefer a sweet spicy taste, add 2 teaspoons of honey or brown sugar to the sauce before cooking it. Substitute drumsticks for the wings. The sauce is so good on either one. Bake the drumsticks just like the wings. Make the wings in your air fryer instead of the oven if you prefer. They’ll take about ten minutes at 400°F.  You may want to try these easy air fryer BBQ chicken wings, too. Not a fan of wings? Try healthy chicken nuggets, orange chicken, Instant Pot honey sriracha chicken or bourbon chicken.

Storage & Reheating Tips

If you have chicken wings left over, store them in the refrigerator for up to four days. They can be frozen for a couple of months.  Reheat frozen wings in a 400°F oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through (140-145°F). If the wings aren’t frozen, they’ll be hot in about fifteen minutes. You can also reheat the wings in the microwave but they tend to get tough. The air fryer also is great for reheating, try 380°F for 5-10 minutes.
