baked sweet chili wings

These baked sweet chili wings are crispy, flavorful, and coated in a sticky, mildly spicy sauce that makes for the perfect appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
  • 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
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
  4. While the wings bake, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl.
  5. Remove wings from oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sweet chili sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat thoroughly.
  6. Return wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to let the sauce set and caramelize slightly.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before seasoning and consider broiling for 1-2 minutes at the end. Serve with a side of cooling ranch or blue cheese dressing.
