Crispy Sweet Spicy Sticky Wings. One thing I know from years of recipe development is that people LOVE crunchy sticky wings. This spicy version is in our TOP 3 wing recipes ever.
Crispy Sweet Spicy Sticky Wings
Last night, we had a few friends in for sips and nibbles. These party-friendly spicy sweet sticky wings were the answer to a recent craving.
I was in the mood for something spicy. So I came up with this very simple sweet spicy glaze to toss with my crispy deep-fried wings. It was fantastic.
Crispy, sticky and with great spicy heat; these were irresistible and I ate way too many of them. The heat comes from Chinese fresh ground chili paste, so it is very easy to adjust the heat to suit your taste.
I think this recipe will become an entertaining favourite at our house.

Jan 30, 2016 UPDATE: We are having friends over again tonight and they are still asking for these wings. I cannot count the number of time I have served them over the years.
I took the opportunity to update the photos in the post and then Spouse and I quickly devoured the plate full before any of our guests arrived. This simple recipe certainly does not disappoint.

Ingredients
For the Wings
- 3 pounds chicken wings, washed, trimmed and cut in pieces
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3 tsp Chinese five spice powder
- 4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp ground ginger
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp milk
For the Glaze
- 1 finely minced garlic clove
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2 tsp Chinese crushed chili paste, or use chopped fresh chilies (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
To Prepare the Wings
- Wash, trim excess skin and fat and cut the wings into pieces, discarding the tips. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix together the flour, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, five spice powder, sea salt, black pepper and ground ginger.
- Prepare an egg wash by whisking together the eggs and milk.
- Dredge the egg washed wings in the flour mixture and drop them in a canola oil filled and preheated 350 degree F deep fryer for about 8-10 minutes or little longer for larger wings, until a medium golden brown.
- Drain on a wire rack placed on a cookie sheet. Hold in a 175 degree oven if making more than one batch.
To Prepare the Glaze
- Add the oil and garlic to a small saucepan.
- Saute over medium heat until the garlic is softened but not browned.
- Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
- Pour over all the cooked wings in a large bowl and toss well to cover the wings in the glaze before serving.
- You can also just serve the glaze as a dipping sauce if you prefer.
