Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1.5 kg chicken wings
2 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder ((It has to be baking powder, NOT baking soda) - see further notes on baking powder below)
¾ tsp salt ((make sure it's regular table salt))
½ tsp pepper
3 tbsp chopped spring onions/scallions
1 tsp vegetable oil
pinch of salt and pepper
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger (peeled and minced)
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 tbsp honey
4 tbsp brown sugar
5 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp lemon grass paste
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 120C/250F and place a rack on a large baking tray.
Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette. Dry the wings with paper towels, then place in a large bowl and add the baking powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Note - it's important to dry the wings first so they only get a light coating. Discard any remaining coating once tossed together.
Place in a single layer on the rack, skin side up. It's fine for them to be touching. Place on the lower shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, turn the oven up to 220c (425f), rotate the tray and place on a higher shelf (higher middle) in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the wings are golden and crispy. Take out of the oven to cool slightly.
Place all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan, stir and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble for 5-10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools). Turn off the heat.
Place the wings in a large bowl and very carefully pour over the sticky sauce (be careful, it will VERY hot). Toss to combine, then serve topped with chopped spring onions.

Time 2h55m

Yield 20 wings, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
20 chicken wings
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Steps:

Place the sun-dried tomatoes and white wine into a blender; puree until smooth, then pour into a saucepan. Stir in the barbeque sauce, sesame oil, hot pepper sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for several minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
While the marinade is cooling, pierce the chicken wings using a fork, and place into a mixing bowl. Toss the chicken wings with the garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the cooled marinade over the wings, and stir to coat. Cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the wings on the preheated grill until no longer pink at the bone, about 20 minutes. Turn the wings frequently as they cook to ensure even cooking. Place the cooked wings on a serving platter; squeeze the lime wedges over the wings, and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken wings: Look for wings that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid wings that are too small or have been frozen for a long time.
Pat the chicken wings dry before cooking: This will help the chicken wings to crisp up and will also help the sauce to adhere to the wings.
Use a variety of spices and seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings to create your own unique wing sauce. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
Cook the chicken wings until they are cooked through: The best way to tell if the chicken wings are cooked through is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the wing. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken wings rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the wings and will make them more tender.

Conclusion:

Asian-style chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With a variety of dipping sauces to choose from, there is sure to be a flavor that everyone will enjoy.
