    Why I love this chicken wing recipe

    This recipe is kid-approved. The first time I made this, my boys went bananas. They are extremely picky, and therefore, I knew these Asian wings were outstanding. This delicious recipe is so easy to make, with only requires a handful of simple ingredients that you may already have in your pantry or can easily find in most grocery stores.

    They are absolutely the best party food! Easy and will feed an army.


    Pro Tips for making The best Asian Sticky Chicken Wings

    • Make tons, as this will be a hit at your house! This recipe is good for 2-4 people.
    • Feel free to make extra sauce. The sauce is great for chicken breasts or stir-fry recipes.

    Other methods of cooking

    Deep Fry Method

    You can deep fry this, but I find baking it in the oven is much healthier and uses less oil. However, if you want crispy chicken wings, deep frying is your best bet.

    Air Fryer Method

    Air fryer chicken wings make the best wings! However, it tends only to make a small batch. I will only use this method if I am only cooking wings for myself and my two young boys. Otherwise, the oven will be your best bet for this recipe.

    Oven-baked

    Using the oven is great, as you can make as many chicken wings as you want. This is fantastic if you’re having a get-together or want to have leftovers the next day. Lay the chicken wings onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake and toss it in the sauce. It’s so easy and so delicious.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    • Lime – You can substitute rice vinegar
    • Baking powder – this makes crispy wings
    • Garlic powder
    • Salt & Pepper
    • Garlic – feel free to use garlic powder for the sauce as well.
