Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 10 chicken wings
Dry Coating
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour (see notes)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free, if needed)
Optional Garnish
- 1 chopped spring onion
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Pat Dry the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Removing moisture is crucial for achieving crispiness during cooking.
- Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, ground pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
- Coat the Wings: Add the chicken wings one by one to the flour mixture and toss each wing until evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumps.
- Cook the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the coated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake for approximately 20-23 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: While the wings bake, combine honey, light brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Glaze the Wings: When the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss immediately in the warm honey garlic sauce, ensuring each wing is well coated.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped spring onions and sesame seeds over the sauced wings for added flavor and presentation. Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, use gluten-free flour or double coat by dipping wings in a beaten egg before dredging in flour mixture.
- You can adjust the heat level by substituting sweet chili sauce with a spicier chili sauce if preferred.
- These wings can be air fried for about 20 minutes at 375°F if you prefer an alternative cooking method.
- Make sure wings are completely dry before coating to ensure maximum crispiness.
