These Asian chicken wings are for those who think wings should come with a side of napkins. Similar to my garlic parmesan wings or buffalo wings, these party wings are slathered in a delicious sweet and spicy sticky sauce that will have you licking your fingers before you reach for another one.
The magic of this recipe comes from the perfect blend of simple, easy-to-find ingredients. Using a combination of avocado oil, soy sauce, sugar-free honey (though regular honey works just as well if you don’t mind the extra carbs), chili garlic sauce, fresh garlic, and a little ground ginger, you can create the perfect balance of sweet and spicy to cover these oven baked wings.
Party wings (aka drumettes and flats/wingettes) are marinated in this homemade sauce before baking. But to get ultimate flavor, the Asian chicken marinade is reduced down into a glaze that gets brushed all over the baked chicken for that sticky, finger-licking finish. A quick trip under the broiler will give them that irresistible caramelized finish, and a sprinkle of thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds adds a touch of freshness and crunch.

Bake the wings
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top the foiled lined tray. Spray the wire rack with cooking spray. Evenly space the marinated wings on the wire rack. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Flip wings, then return to the oven to bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.

Make chili garlic glaze
Add the reserved marinade to a small saucepan along with remaining sugar free honey (about 1 tablespoon). Heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer until thickened (3-5 minutes).
Ingredients
- ¼ cup reserved marinade
- 1 tablespoon sugar free honey
-
Glaze and broil
Once wings are done baking, remove the baking tray from the oven and brush chili garlic glaze all over the wings. Return to the oven but place under the broiler on the top rack and broil on high for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Keep a close eye on the wings while broiling to make sure they don't burn.
Chili garlic sauce
This simple Asian chicken marinade is what sets theses wings apart. The chili garlic sauce in the marinade gives a robust, spicy kick, while the soy sauce provides that umami flavor. Avocado oil is used to bind all the ingredients together, whereas the honey gives a slight sweetness that balances out the heat. Fresh garlic and ground ginger add more flavor and zest.
Even though these ingredients can be found in most pantries or the grocery store, there are some substitutions that can be made if you don’t have ingredients on hand or there is an allergy.
- Avocado oil – Can be replace with other neutral tasting oils like canola or grapeseed oil.
- Honey – Of course, if staying low carb, using sugar free honey is preferred; however, any sweetener can be used. A brown sugar like sweetener is an ideal replacement for honey.
- Garlic – Garlic powder can be substituted if freshly minced garlic is not available. Use 1 teaspoon.
- Ginger – If you really want the best flavor, use fresh ginger.
- Chili garlic sauce – Sriracha sauce could be used as a substitute or try to find chili paste. Chili paste has a similar bold chili flavor but is less tangy. You could make your own chili garlic sauce by using Sriracha as a base and mixing in red pepper flakes, minced garlic and a splash of vinegar.
If you want your Asian chicken wings more tangy, add in a splash of white vinegar, apple cider vinegar or lime juice.
Storage information
Let the wings cool down after cooking before storing them in an airtight container or wrap them securely in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
Store in the refrigerator
The Asian chicken wings can stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
Store in the freezer
If you want to keep the wings longer than that, store in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
Reheating instructions
Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until they’re heated through. To reheat in the air fryer, air fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes. If the baked chicken wings are frozen, it’s best to thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. To get the wings crispy again, it’s best to use an air fryer to reheat them or you can finish the wings under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
Chili Garlic Wings: FAQS
What is chili garlic sauce, and where can I buy it?
Chili garlic sauce is a popular condiment in many Asian inspired dishes, especially in Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine. It's a thick, chunky sauce with a spicy, tangy flavor. The sauce contains red chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, and salt. You can find it in most grocery stores down the Asian food aisle. One popular brand that makes this sauce is Huy Fong Foods which is the same company that makes Sriracha sauce.
What are party chicken wings?
Party wings are part of chicken wings that have been cut into two pieces: the "drumette" and the "wingette" (or "flat"). The drumette is the part of the wing that is attached to the body of the chicken and looks like a small drumstick, while the wingette is the middle part of the wing, between the drumette and the tip. The wing tips are typically discarded as they don't have a lot of meat to them.They're called "party wings" because they are often served at parties, given their easy-to-eat size and their popularity as a finger food.
I don't have fresh garlic; can I use garlic powder instead?
Yes, you can substitute with one teaspoon of garlic powder for 4 cloves of garlic in this recipe.
