Ingredients
Wing Dusting
- 1 cup all-purpose white flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
Wing Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- ½ tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Prep and Season the Wings
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Rinse your chicken wings off in the skin. You want them damp but not soaking wet. This step helps ensure crispy skin.
Step 2: Coat the Wings
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well.
- Toss the wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. I like to get into every little crevice but make sure to shake off any excess flour.
Step 3: Bake the Wings
- Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness. Wings should be golden brown and crispy. The time can vary depending on the size of your wings.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
- While the wings are baking, prepare the wing sauce using a saucepan over medium heat.
- Start by heating olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in garlic powder, salt, black pepper, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
- Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 5: Toss and Serve
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
- Serve with some homemade blue cheese or ranch dip and veggie sticks.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Store leftover wings in an airtight container for up to 3 days.Reheat: To maintain crispiness, reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes.Enjoy these irresistibly crispy wings that bring a delicious Asian-inspired twist to your table!
