Ingredients:
- For the Marinade:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, and wings separated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Glaze:
- 1/4 cup chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional Garnish:
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Marinate the Wings:
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until well coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Bake the Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the rack in a single layer.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze by combining chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until the butter has melted and the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
- Serve:
- Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
- Serve hot, and enjoy!
These Chilli Chicken Wings are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in a preheated oven for a few minutes if needed.
