Easy Sweet Chili Chicken Wings (Crispy & Baked!)

Ingredients

• 4 lbs chicken wings ((if frozen, thaw completely))
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/6 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
• 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp hoisin sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp rice wine ((not vinegar))
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp red chili flakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil and spray lightly with non-stick spray.

2. 2

   If wings are sitting in juices, drain over the sink for several minutes.

3. 3

   Use paper towels to pat the chicken wings as dry as possible. Toss into a large bowl, then add baking powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the wings in the seasoning mixture.

4. 4

   Line wings on prepped sheet pans, leaving space in between each one. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until nice and crispy on the outside.

5. 5

   While chicken wings are baking, make the sweet chili glaze by combining the sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, and red chili flakes in a large bowl.

6. 6

   When the wings are done, use tongs to gently pull them off the foil and place them in the bowl. Some might stick a bit - that’s normal. Just keep wiggling until they pull off.

7. 7

   Place the wings in the bowl with the sauce, then toss to coat. Serve immediately.
