Asian baked chicken wings
Crispy oven baked chicken wings coated in a sweet, spicy Asian glaze is a delicious appetizer and perfect for Superbowl snacking.
Crispy. Sticky. Spicy. Chicken wings. These are all some of my favourite words. And they’re all together in one recipe! Hurray!! These Asian crispy baked chicken wings are just so delicious and I might or might not be able to eat the entire batch. And listen, you’re not allowed to judge because these wings are just absolutely addictive.
Making crispy, crunchy baked chicken wings is so easy and much less fussy than frying them. And then obviously they’re healthier but we’re about to cover them in a sticky Asian glaze so let’s not go on about how healthy these are, shall we? The crispiness though is what I love so much about these. They have this roast chicken flavour and then you cover them in that sticky glaze and you have a little flavour bomb just waiting to be devoured.
These baked chicken wings are PERFECT for Superbowl snacking but honestly, they’re pretty great any day of the week. Make them, you won’t be disappointed!
How long does it take to bake chicken wings?
At 200ºC/390ºF, they should be fully cooked after 30-35 minutes.
How do you make chicken wings crispy in the oven?
Pat the chicken wings dry with kitchen paper then coat in a thin layer of oil and season well. Place onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes until crisp and golden then flip and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the wings are crisp and golden all around.

This was great. I made the mistake of not letting the sauce thicken before using it…that would have been better if it stuck to the chicken more. I also didn’t get really crispy wings….maybe putting a little cornstarch might help? Or, maybe I had cheap chicken?
If your chicken released a lot of water during cooking it would definitely limit the crispness. You could try baking on a wire rack to prevent that in the future.
Perfect wing recipe. Easy and delicious.
Thanks David.
I’m hosting a Super Bowl party this Sunday and decided to make your wings. I made the glaze ahead and will keep in the fridge until I’m ready to glaze the wings on Sunday but I just had to tell you how totally delicious it is. I couldn’t stop tasting it once it was done. I can’t wait to see what it’s like on the wings.
Oh, I’m so glad to hear that Tina. The glaze is super delicious. I hope you have an awesome Super bowl party!
They look so tasty.
Thanks! 🙂
Can’t wait to try this recipe.
I hope you love it!
We made this recipe last night and my husband and I loved it. Definitely too spicy for the kids but I just took out a little of the glaze and baked theirs separately. Great recipe.
I’m so glad to hear that Amanda. I thought they would be too spicy for my kids but they actually loved them. Clever to just bake theirs separately though!
This is wings perfection. They look so sticky. Love.
It wouldn’t be a Super Bowl party without wings Alida! Love the flavor of these!
Thanks Mary Ann!
