I made a batch of these wings for my parents before my trip to Portland. They watch Bailey, I make some wings for them in return. Everybody is happy!
Spicy Asian Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. chicken wings (you can use this marinade for any cut of chicken you’d like)
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 3-4 tablespoons soy sauce (depending on the salt-content of the brand you’re using)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
**I realize that the addition of both soy sauce and salt as well as honey and sugar may seem redundant, but the flavor profiles of each are different, thus creating a greater overall flavor profile for the marinade. ๐
Directions:
Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Taste to make sure there is a balance of savory and sweet since different soy sauces have varying sodium contents. Adjust the amount of soy/honey as necessary.
Transfer the chicken wings to a plastic ziploc bag. (I’ve found this is the best way to marinate chicken since you can seal out the air and easily flip the chicken around every few hours.)ย Add the marinade and seal the bag, making sure to press out any excess air. Massage the chicken through the bag to make sure the marinade evenly coats the chicken. Marinate at least 12 hours, turning the bag at least once or twice during this time.
Turn the oven to broil. Position the oven rack at the second highest level. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Place the chicken in the oven and check it every 5-8 minutes, turning and rearranging the chicken as needed. I find that the middle pieces always cook the fastest, so I rotate them around. Cook the chicken until even golden brown and slightly charred, between 20-25 minutes. If you chicken is browning too quickly, lower your oven rack to allow the chicken to cook thoroughly.
Remove chicken from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
I have tried this recipe and it is the only way to enjoy chicken wings. It is mouth watering just thinking about it.
Paul told me it’s Riley’s favorite chicken wing recipe now. But he uses the recipe I gave him with thick soy as an ingredient. I didn’t make that version since thick soy is not readily available in markets (yet). ๐
[…] Patty […]
Those look incredible! Will have to try this the next time I buy some wings. =)
They are finger-licking good. Do let me know if you try them! ๐
Trust me, they are on my “must make” list. ๐
๐
Oh, Bailey looks sooo adorable in the last photo!! These look amazing, and easy to maketoo! I’m gonna have to make these this weekend! =)
Yes, Bailey was being a good boy and didn’t try to steal any wings. He’s only naughty about food with his grandma and grandpa. True story. ๐ Don’t forget to taste and adjust the marinade if you make these, Bonnie! I’ve used different brands of soy and sometimes the difference can be up to a tablespoon or two of soy!
What brand did you use Patty?
I switch between Green Mountain (common in Vietnamese households) and Haechandle (a Korean brand). The Green Mountain is definitely saltier, and Haechandle has a sweeter balance to it. When I use Green Mountain, I usually decrease by the soy by a tablespoon and kick up the honey to round out the flavors. ๐ Which brand(s) do you use at home?
Oh wow interesting, I don’t know either of those brands. Will have to check them out the next time I am at the market. I use low-sodium Kikkoman and also low-sodium Aloha Shoyu, a less common Hawaiian brand. Interested to taste how they are different! Thank you Patty!!
I have both of those as well. Go with the Aloha brand!
You are awesome–will do! ๐
And wow, 4 brands of soy sauce…we really should meet!! =)
Haha yes, we shall! I can’t wait! ๐
No chicken bones for Bailey! These look so good. I was going to make my lemon garlic wings the other day only to discover…..bad wings.
Your parents are swell for pup sitting.
No chicken bones, or onions, or garlic! What happened to your wings? Why were they bad? Oh dear! And my parents love pup-sitting. Even if my dad pretends that it’s a lot of work and he’s put out by it. I’m onto him–I know they miss him after watching him for a few days! ๐
Expiration date said one thing, the smell said something else. Organic, good quality, just gone south too soon. I made lasagne instead (like on the airplane in the old days “chicken or lasagne”).
Oh, the stories I could tell about pup sitting and parents and me…
What a shame about the wings. Lasagne isn’t a bad substitute, that’s for sure! I sorta miss airplane food. It was exciting to see what they were going to serve you each time. ๐
Now I’m ever so curious about your pup sitting stories!
These look delicious, Patty! Yum, I’m sure the salty and sweet components balance each other out. Pics are superb and I swear Bailey just gets cuter and cuter!
I’m going to try my hand at Pok Pok wings next, Ngan! But not until summer. Too much to do before then! I’m lucky I got my food queue going during spring break. That will keep me going until I have time again. ๐ Bailey is pretty cute. But sometimes I think he is cuter in pictures than in person. Don’t tell him I said that!! ๐ He is just a very photogenic little fluffball. โค
What did you say? Oh, hi Bailey…(Patty, my lips are sealed).
Shhhh!! ๐
Bailey probably knows you’re snapping pictures of him and showing them to the world so he’s on his best behavior. He just saves the terrorizing for you. ๐
YES! You’re right on the money, Ngan! Hahah!
Patty, these wings look amazing, and I love the photos!
Thank you, Sheryl! ๐
I have had something similar to this with ketchup added to make the wings red.
That sounds good! Probably makes the wings nice and sticky!
Definitely sticky.
Sticky wings are the best. Yum!
๐
FREE DELIVERY? ๐
Yep!!
We enjoyed those wings very much. I’m proud to have an awesome cook in the family.:)
Got it from you, Mom! ๐
Those look delicious! And the photos are so sharp. Bailey has the eye.
๐
Wow what a nice and yummy recipe! Love the photos! Well done! ๐
Thanks so much! ๐
Great timing! I have a bunch of chucken wings that I was unsure on exactly the marinade to use.. ! cool
Do let me know if you try this and what tweaks you make!
need to get some more wings Patty.. ended up losing them!
Oh no! How did you lose them??
Marinated them.. and ended up selling them.. forgetting that then we had none!
Oops! ๐
Yup! BIG oops!
Patty – we party at last! Love the trade off – Bailey-sitting for wings – I’m in!! Gorgeous photos as usual and so happy to see Bailey who I have missed!!
I think that’s a pretty good trade-off, right?? ๐
Patty, you always amaze us with your stunning photos. โค
I also love chicken wings but not the way I love chicken thighs. I think you feel the same way, too! Right? ๐
Thanks for sharing and bringing these yummy goodness to FF15. I think Bailey would love to join us, too?
Jhuls, I made chicken thighs with this marinade today. Oh yes, thighs are soo goood! Bailey says to tell you thank you for the invite! ๐
Patty! I guess our weekend was so lovely as I also had BBQ’d chicken thighs! Yay for us! ๐
Yay, indeed!
Yes, please! These look amazing and I love the flavors of the marinade. Kisses to Bailey.
He is sending kisses right back! โค
These look so delicious. I bet they would be awesome grilled on the BBQ too. Bailey looks very please with your efforts.
Oh, yes, grilled is fabulous! I usually do that with drumsticks and thighs (with the same marinade) for summer bbqs.
Patty it sounds and looks fabulous ๐ Great pictures too!
Thanks, Linda! ๐
OMG Patty! I’m drooling!!!! ๐ They look perfect, love your photographs too!
and Bailey is gorgeous..don’t let him monitor for too long or you won’t have any left ๐ They are so tempting!
Oh, I know better than to leave him unattended! He once got into a plate of my mom’s chicken curry and had a yellow curry stained face for days. OMG. I was so mad at him.
Hahahah.. Noo…Yellow stains on that pretty white fur must have been hard to take out..!
My pug loves toast.. Can’t leave him around that, so I get what you’re saying..
Silly dogs sure keep us on our toes! ๐
I love this take on wings – it looks so delicious!
Thanks, Laura! I just found out from Seana at from Cottage Grove House that my comments had been sent to her spam folder, and when I checked mine, I found that yours had been sent to mine! I’m so sorry and I hope you didn’t think I had been rude for not responding! Silly WP!!!
Not rude at all – I completely understand!
I will definitely take on Bailey duties next time you travel if these wings are the reward…please? He would have such fun with my furry friends. ๐ The sprinkling of sesame seeds is a great touch…adding another great texture/flavor!
Sure thing, Nancy! How many dozen would you like?? ๐
This looks way too yummy!! Need this in my tummy right now!!
Thanks, Ayesha! What a very happy tummy you’ll have! ๐
They look amazing…and I see that Bailey thinks so too! ๐
Bailey thinks all human food is amazing. Well, almost all. There are certain fruits and veggies he turns up his nose at. What a diva! ๐
Hahaha! ๐
I have always wanted a good wings recipe. We love wings but I have never been satisfied with the results. I’ll try your’s for sure Patty, they are so lovely with your thinly sliced scallions. Bailey’s so darn cute!
I hope you enjoy them, Seana. Do let me know if you try them and what tweaks you made! Bailey says thank you for the lovely compliment. ๐
Gorgeous photos… these would certainly make my family happy!
Thanks, MB! They sure made us happy over here! ๐
Those look so tasty! Bailey looks like he is thinking about grabbing one from the plate! ๐
Thanks, Nancy. I wouldn’t put it past him! One time he got into a plate of curry!
These wings look fabulous and mouth watering! Perfect for fiesta Friday! ๐
Thanks, Indu! ๐
What a good looking chicken recipe. I am so glad I found you on Fiesta Friday ๐
Thanks, Pang! I’m headed over to your site right now! ๐
These look delish, Patty! We love wings and usually have them when we go out. So going to try this. And what’s Bailey upto- trying to save the wings from himself? ๐
Only Bailey knows what he is up to…oh how I wish he could talk! I bet he’d never stop yakking away. ๐
Fantastic – I’ve always wondered what to do with chicken wings, and now I know!
Emma ๐
Thanks, Emma! ๐
omgggg that looks good…quickly steals it
I won’t say a word. ๐
Lol

Haha, thanks, Olga! ๐
I really love the last picture with your dog ๐ Lovely, simple recipe, I love that kind of chicken with lots of flavour…
Thanks, Catherine! And yes, the Bailey picture is my favorite. ๐
Oh Patty! These are wonderful! My hubby LOVES chicken wings and your recipe looks like the best I have seen in a very long time! I will make this for sure! As always, I am loving your photos! ๐
Thanks, Julianna! You’ll have to let me know what your hubby thinks of them! ๐
Patty, these look so delicious! I’ll be making this recipe for sure – thank you for sharing! Have a great weekend.
Thanks, Margot! I hope you are having a fantastic weekend!
Wowsers, Patty, they look good! Can I look after Bailey for you please?? ๐
Yes, and I shall bring you a platter of wings! And extra napkins! ๐
Wow, Patty these look amazing! I love spicy Asian wings- super delicious recipe!
Thanks, Jess! ๐
Patty, beautiful job here. It looks very similar to the Pok Pok recipe I am (haven’t forgotten!) slugging away transcribing . . . um, except about a thousand less steps. It looks like Bailey enjoyed them too!
Oh, these were good, but definitely not Pok Pok wings, Sue! But none for Bailey–no garlic or onion for him! Poor booboo.
Sounds delicious and is going on my growing list of to-try recipes !
Thanks, Janine! Let me know once you get around to trying it. I’ve got a pretty long to-try list myself! ๐
The chicken wings look so delicious and you presentation is gorgeous ๐
Thanks, Laila! ๐
That marinade is probably great even with chicken breasts, but wings are the best! Pretty sure I’ll be making these very soon. Bailey is a good boy, at least this time. ๐
Yes, the marinade is very versatile, Angie! You can use it on short ribs as well. Bailey is only sometimes good. It’s always a surprise when he is. ๐
This looks delicious and even fits all my allergy needs (assuming I pick a GF soy sauce). Beautiful presentation, and thanks for bringing it to the fiesta!
Thanks, Kaila! It’s great that GF soy sauce is not that hard to find anymore! ๐
Damn, i really adore your photograph skills!!!
surely pretty damn finger licking good….
Dedy, your photography is amazing. Every dish you post makes me drool!
if i cook this can i have the dog too, i dont mean to eat just to have please, pretty please?
Haha, Justine, I would be devastated without Bailey!! But you may borrow him for a short time. โค
Yay great teddy would love him to bits!
Hah we should photoshop them playing together somehow! I’m rubbish at it
Haha, that would be a fun project!
yes..hehe..but your better at that kind of stuff than me hehe..oh i want ot ask you something, if I were to think of trying to sell photos on one of those platforms that are websites that package your photo on canvas or on othe rmediums and you pay them a commission or fee do you know which ones have the best reputations? I know you sell yours independently but I am amateur compared to you and thought to use a web service for it.
Hmmm I’m not sure but will ask around for you! I’ve heard about Zazzle so you might want to see what services they offer!
Patty I think a fun post I have coming out tomorrow will really appeal to you ๐ I will look at zazzle not heard of that someone told me of footopia
Can’t wait to see the post!
๐
Drool, drool, drool! I am gonna make these soon with some drumsticks!
Naina, I made these again today with bone-in chicken thighs. Cooked them at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then broiled each side for about 5 minutes to crisp up the skin. ๐
Wow! sounds amazing! Cant wait to try them ๐
They were really tasty, Naina! ๐
You are the first one I clicked on in this week’s Fiesta Friday ๐ Your chicken look super delicious but your photography is… Wooow ๐
I mean photography of chicken ๐
Thanks, Ivy! I’m glad the photos turned out well. ๐
Delicious! And oh, Bailey, you cute little pup you!
Haha, thanks, Nell! ๐
