Crispy baked wings tossed in a flavorful sweet chili sauce, perfect as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack with a balance of sweet heat and savory spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil and a wire rack.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer to allow air circulation.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until wings are crispy and cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and honey.
  6. Remove baked wings and immediately toss them in the sweet chili sauce mixture until fully coated.
  7. Return the wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to set the sauce.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat wings dry before seasoning and consider broiling for 2-3 minutes at the end. Serve with celery sticks and ranch dressing for a classic pairing.
