Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help achieve crispy wings while allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands or a spatula to ensure that each wing is evenly coated with the sauce. For best results, let the wings marinate for at least 15 minutes. If you have more time, consider marinating them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This allows air to circulate around the wings, promoting even cooking and crispiness.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for about 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. This ensures that both sides get nice and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, prepare your garnish. Chop the green onions finely and set them aside. This will add a fresh crunch and vibrant color to your dish.
- Once the wings are cooked and have reached a golden brown color, remove them from the oven. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving, as this will help retain their juiciness.
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter and sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for garnish. You can serve these wings with extra sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Sweet Chilli Asian Wings with friends and family!
Tips
- Marination is Key: For maximum flavor, let your wings marinate for at least 15 minutes, but if possible, aim for 2 hours in the refrigerator. This allows the marinade to penetrate deeply into the meat.
- Use a Wire Rack: Placing wings on a wire rack ensures crispy, evenly cooked wings by allowing hot air to circulate completely around the meat.
- Don't Overcrowd: Arrange wings in a single layer to ensure each piece gets crispy and cooks evenly.
- Internal Temperature Matters: Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Fresh Garnish: Chop green onions just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Keep extra sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.
