Sticky chicken wings make a great appetizer or dinner for the entire family! Eat them mild or add a little spice for spicy Asian chicken wings!

When you think of wings, you probably think of buffalo wings or BBQ wings. Or maybe even garlic parmesan wings.

After you make these sticky chicken wings, they’ll be the first thing you think of when you think about wings! They’re seasoned, baked crisp to perfection, and tossed in a sweet and sticky Asian wing sauce.

They’d be perfect for game day, to enjoy with your favorite Asian dish (I recommend this coconut rice), or any time you’re just craving wings.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Customize the heat – I wrote this to be mild wings that everyone can enjoy but with just a little addition of siracha, these can be transformed into spicy wings!
  • Super crispy – when the method I’ve written out for cooking these wings, the outside is super crisp while keeping the inside chicken moist.
  • Sweet and sticky sauce – the sauce combines a variety of Asian spices and seasonings into one super flavorful sauce!

Ingredients

Ingredient Notes

  • Siracha – I’ve included this in my ingredients because it’s an option for making these spicier. Check out the recipe card for details on how you would add siracha if you want to. Otherwise, this is totally optional.
  • Grated ginger – either fresh grated ginger or ground ginger works just fine. If you use ground ginger, use 1/4 tsp ground ginger instead of the full tsp of grated ginger.
  • Grated garlic – while I prefer fresh garlic in this, garlic powder or garlic granules work in a pinch. Use 1/4 tsp garlic powder in comparison to the full tsp of grated garlic.
  • Baking powder – the baking powder helps give these wings a nice crispy skin. If you don’t have any you can leave it out, but it does add to the crispy exterior!
  • Chicken wings – my personal preference is these Perdue Farms chicken wings. And if you use my ambassador link, you can get 15% off your entire order! If you don’t go with Perdue Farms, any uncooked chicken wings work.

How to make sticky chicken wings

Okay so these wings aren’t that difficult but the way you cook them can totally change how crispy and delicious they are. This is my preferred method of cooking any wings!

1 – Prep Your Pan

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F and line a baking rack with parchment paper. Then place an oven safe wire rack (like this one) on top of the parchment paper.

Baking the wings on the wire rack will allow the heat and air to flow all the way around the wings, cooking the entire outside to crisp.

2 – Make Your Wings

Pat your chicken wings dry with a paper towel or clean dish towel. This helps keep the outside crisp.

Combine chicken wings, flour, baking powder, garlic, and salt in a large bowl. Add the wings to the bowl and toss them all together to combine.

Tip!

Make clean up easier by doing this in a plastic bag rather than a bowl! Add all your ingredients then your wings and shake until they’re all coated!

Spread the chicken wings out on the prepared baking rack. If you have too many for one baking sheet, do two different sheets but don’t put them too close together or you’ll end up with soggy skins.

Bake them in the preheated oven for 25 minutes then flip the wings, ideally while still in the oven so you don’t lose the heat. If that’s not possible, just flip them fast.

After flipping, bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the outside of the wings is crispy.

3 – Make the sticky wing sauce

When you have about 5-10 minutes left in the cooking time for the wings, make your sauce. Don’t make it before that because if it sits too long, it’ll get a bit congealed and not coat the wings like you want it to.

Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, grated garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. If you’re using siracha, add it to the other ingredients in the saucepan.

Heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and has the consistency of warm caramel sauce— about 5 minutes. 

Transfer the sauce to a large bowl right before the wings are done. If they still have a few minutes, just keep the sauce in the hot pan so it can stay warm and fluid.

4 – Finish the Wings

Once the wings are done, add the hot wings to the bowl with sauce and toss to combine.

Expert Tips

Make it sweet. Add two teaspoons of honey or brown sugar to the sauce in the saucepan before cooking for a sweeter wing.

Make it spicy. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of siracha to the sauce before cooking depending on how spicy you like your wings.

Keep the sauce on the stove over low heat to keep warm until the wings are done. Don’t cook it too early or you’ll end up with a congealed mess.

Refrigerate wings in an airtight container for up to five days. Place in a cold oven on a parchment lined baking sheet, set to 425 degrees, and let them to come to temperature with the oven for reheating.

Recipe FAQs

How do you get sauce to stick to chicken wings?

The sauce is naturally sticky. Adding the chicken wings when they’re hot to a warm sauce will coat them without any problems. If the sauce won’t stick, try warming your sauce back up for a few minutes.

What goes well with sticky wings?

Sticky wings would be great served with this Instant Pot basmati rice, these air fryer fries, or even just some veggies like these air fryer brussels sprouts.

How do you cook chicken wings without sticking?

Make sure your chicken wings are spread apart so they don’t stick to each other. Flip the wings halfway through cooking to keep them from sticking to the baking rack, it helps loosen them up midway through the cooking.
