Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 4 pcs Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Fish sauce
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sriracha (optional, for spice)
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 3 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow the wings to cook evenly.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set it aside for thickening the sauce later.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sriracha (if using), and lime juice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned wings on the prepared wire rack, spacing them evenly for proper air circulation. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even browning.
Remove the wings from the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C). Brush the wings generously with the prepared Thai honey sauce, coating all sides.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the sauce caramelizes and the wings are golden and sticky.
Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish alongside your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
