Ingredients
- Wing Portions. You can either use the wingette, drumette, or a combination of the two! Thedrumetteis the part that looks like a drumstick and usually has a bit more white meat.The wingetteis the middle part of the chicken wing. It is composed of two bones, has more dark meat, and slightly less meat to skin than drumettes.Can’t find wing pieces? Here’s how to cut chicken wings.
- Oil. And not a ton of it. Avocado oil is recommended since it has a milder flavor and a higher smoke point, but olive oil may also be used.
- Thai chili wing sauce. We’ll be whisking together soy sauce, chili garlic sauce or Sriracha sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic and ginger to make this. (You can use white sugar or an alternative, like palm sugar if needed).
How to Make Thai Chicken Wings
Please see the recipe card below for more detailed ingredient amounts.
1. Make the Sauce
Add the sauce ingredients to a medium-sized or large mixing bowl. Whisk well.
Divide the sauce in two. Half will be used as a marinade and half will be reduced for serving.
2. Season the Wings
Place the wingettes and drumettes in a gallon-sized bagwith a zip top. Then,pour half of the sauce over the wings.
Gently toss the contents of the bag until everything is coated. You can let the wings marinate for up to 24 hours.
3. Bake the Wings
Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Then place a wire rack on top.Place the sauced wings in a single layer on the rack.
Be sure to set the wings skin-side down.
Bake the wings in a preheated 400℉ oven for 40 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking. The wings are done when the thickest part measures 165℉ on a meat thermometer.
4. Reduce Remaining Sauce
Add the rest of the saved sauce to a small pot or saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium-low heat. Be careful not to scorch the sauce.
Let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. The sauce should reduce by half.
5. Serve the Wings
Baste the Thai wings with some of the reduced sauce. Then, broil for 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully as they can burn quick. You should see a glistening golden brown hue.
Top with the rest of the sauce, or use it as a dipping sauce. Then sprinkle some cilantro, peanuts, and green onion on top to serve. Don’t forget the paper towels.
FAQs
Do I sauce my wings before or after I bake them?
For the best results, both! Toss the wings in sauce before baking, then make a reduction to add just before serving.
How do I get sauced wings crispy?
If you’re not deep-frying wings, it might be difficult to get that crispy exterior. Throw them under the broiler for the last few minutes of baking for a perfect texture.
Recipe Tips
- Save some. Be sure to reserve half the sauce to reduce for the best wings.
- DIY.If the grocery store is out of prepared wings, learnhow to cut chicken wingsyourself.
- Get it hot. A few minutes under the broiler will yield perfectly crispy chicken wings.
- Top ’em off.Don’t forget the green onions, peanuts, and cilantro!
- Breathing room. Use a wire rack to get extra crispy wings. And make sure you flip them halfway through!
