Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless chicken wings
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the chicken wings will cook evenly and develop a nice glaze.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended and the honey is fully dissolved.
- Place the boneless chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Let the chicken wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor. If you're short on time, 15 minutes will suffice.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. This allows the heat to circulate around the wings, making them crispy.
- Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
- Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. This initial baking will help cook the chicken through.
- After 25 minutes, remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the leftover marinade. This will create a sticky glaze as they continue to bake.
- Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are caramelized and slightly crispy. You can also broil them for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the chicken.
- Before serving, sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds for added flavor and garnish. You can also add chopped green onions or cilantro if desired.
- Serve the Sweet Sour Sticky Thai Boneless Oven Baked Chicken Wings hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauces or garnishes. Enjoy!
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: While 15 minutes of marinating will work in a pinch, letting the chicken wings soak in the marinade for at least 2 hours—or even overnight—will deepen the flavors and make them even more delicious.
- Use a Wire Rack: Elevating the chicken wings on a wire rack while baking allows air to circulate around them, resulting in a crispier texture. If you don’t have a wire rack, just be sure to flip the wings halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
- Watch the Broiling: If you choose to broil the wings for extra crispiness, keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes. Broiling can quickly turn from perfect to burnt if you’re not careful!
- Experiment with Heat: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference. If you like it hotter, add more; if you prefer a milder flavor, feel free to reduce the amount.
- Garnish Creatively: While sesame seeds add a lovely crunch and flavor, don’t hesitate to get creative with your garnishes. Chopped green onions, cilantro, or even a drizzle of sriracha can elevate your dish to new heights.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: These wings are fantastic on their own, but pairing them with a tangy dipping sauce, like sweet chili or peanut sauce, can take the experience to the next level!
