Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed and separated into drummettes and wings

Marinade & Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 1/2 inch piece ginger, coarsely chopped
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 2 Tbsp light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 Tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 2 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 Tbsp sesame oil

Garnish

  • Sliced scallions
  • Lime wedges
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Whisk together the garlic, ginger, lime zest and juice, light brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, kosher salt, and sesame oil in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and toss gently to coat all wings evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to infuse maximum flavor and tenderness.
  3. Preheat the Oven: The next day, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet tray with non-stick foil for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  4. Arrange the Wings: Place the marinated chicken wings on the prepared sheet tray in a single layer, reserving the leftover marinade for later use.
  5. Bake the Wings: Bake the wings for 1 hour, turning them a couple of times during cooking to ensure even browning and to prevent sticking. The wings should be cooked through with a crispy exterior.
  6. Cook the Reserved Marinade: While the wings bake, strain the reserved marinade into a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce, adding more water if it becomes too thick.
  7. Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve with the cooked marinade sauce on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over the wings.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about a dozen wings, perfect for sharing or a hearty serving for three.
  • Marinating the wings overnight deepens the flavor and makes the meat super tender and juicy.
  • For extra spice, add a splash of Sriracha to the marinade before cooking.
  • Be sure to turn the wings several times while baking to avoid burning and ensure even crispness.
  • Garnishing with sesame seeds, scallions, and a squeeze of fresh lime adds a beautiful finishing touch and flavor boost.
  • Cooking down the reserved marinade into a sauce adds a delicious, saucy element that complements the crispy wings perfectly.
