Description

Crispy chicken wings coated in a sweet and tangy glaze that caramelizes beautifully for the ultimate sticky, finger-licking experience. Perfect for appetizers, parties, or a delicious snack!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Wings:

  • 16 split chicken wings (drummettes and wingettes)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • Avocado oil spray

For the Sticky Glaze:

  • ¼ cup sweet Thai chili sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Wings:

Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up during cooking.

Season evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Lightly spray the wings with avocado oil for added crispiness.

2️⃣ Cooking Options:

Baking Method:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a cooling rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.

Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Continue baking until desired crispiness is achieved, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Air Fryer Method:

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).

Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.

3️⃣ Make the Sticky Glaze:

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the sweet Thai chili sauce and ketchup.

Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring until the glaze becomes bubbly and starts to caramelize.

4️⃣ Coat the Wings:

Add the cooked wings to the skillet and toss until they are evenly coated in the sticky glaze.

Let the wings cook in the sauce for an additional 1–2 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize fully.

5️⃣ Serve:

Transfer the wings to a serving plate and enjoy them while they’re hot, sticky, and irresistibly delicious!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  • If you like a bit more spice, add a teaspoon of Sriracha or red chili flakes to the glaze.
  • Use parchment paper to make cleanup easy when baking.
  • Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
