Soy & Sweet Chili Chicken Wings
These sweet chili soy chicken wings by Chef Felix Rice are packed with bold Asian-inspired flavors. The wings are roasted, then finished in a fragrant sauce made with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sweet chili sauce for a sticky, savory-sweet glaze that's hard to resist.
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves , finely minced
- 1 medium shallot
- 2 tbsp ginger , grated
- 9 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce
Chicken wings:
- 1 1/2 lb chicken wings
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
For garnish
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
- Toss the chicken wings with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the wings on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.
- While the wings are roasting, prepare the sauce. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce and sweet chili sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then reduce the heat to low.
- Remove the wings from the oven. Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high and add the wings to the pan.
- Sear the wings for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a deeper golden color.
- Toss the wings in the sauce and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and coat the wings.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.
