Why You’ll Love These Sweet Chili Wings
The magic of these wings starts with the seasoning. I’ve perfected the balance of spices to ensure each bite is full of flavor, even before the sauce goes on. The wings are then baked in the oven, where they develop a beautiful crispy texture and a slight char that’s reminiscent of grilled wings. Baking instead of frying also means you can enjoy these wings without the guilt – less oil doesn’t mean less flavor!
The real star of the show, though, is the buttery sweet chili sauce. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, with just the right amount of richness from the butter. The sauce clings to the wings, coating them in a glaze that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious. The sweet chili sauce has that addictive quality that will have you reaching for wing after wing – it’s just that good.
Sweet Chili Wings
Ingredients
- 6 large whole chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of all purpose seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
For the Sweet Chili Sauce:
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- All purpose seasoning to taste
To serve
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Honey to drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and stay crispy.
- Prepare the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper and all purpose seasoning. Make sure each wing is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Bake the Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Make the Sweet Chili Sauce: While the wings are baking, prepare the sweet chili sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sweet chili sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened. Season to taste with all purpose seasoning if desired
- Coat the Wings: Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Toss the wings in the sweet chili sauce until they are evenly coated. Put the wings back in the oven for 10-15 minutes to get sticky and charred
- Serve: Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Give the wings a drizzle of honey if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness of these Sweet Chili Wings!
