Hot Spicy Wings
Spicy, savory chicken wings glazed with sesame and soy, featuring garlic and fresh vegetables for a bold, flavorful appetizer or main dish perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil wing joints for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Drain well.
- Crush garlic cloves and add chopped yellow onion, green onions, and carrots. Stir well.
- Add 1/2 cup soy sauce, sesame seed, sesame oil, and red pepper.
- Cook for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the wing joints in the soy sauce mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking. If you're looking for a milder version, reduce the amount of red pepper or substitute it with a sweet chili sauce. You can also use olive oil instead of sesame oil if needed. Remember to adjust salt as soy sauce is already salty.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these hot spicy wings with a side of celery and carrot sticks for crunch. A cooling dip like ranch or blue cheese dressing pairs beautifully with the heat of the wings. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of rice or toss in a salad with Pickled Beets(Easy Spiced Beets) for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover hot spicy wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave them, but this may result in less crispy skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen wing joints for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen wing joints. Just ensure they are fully thawed before boiling to ensure even cooking. It may take longer to boil them if they are not completely thawed, so adjust the time accordingly.
What can I do if the wings aren’t spicy enough?
If the wings aren’t spicy enough for your taste, you can add more red pepper to the marinade. Alternatively, sprinkle on some cayenne pepper or serve with a spicy hot sauce on the side to allow diners to adjust the heat to their preference.
Can I grill the wings instead of boiling them?
Absolutely! Grilling the wings can add a delicious smoky flavor. After boiling, you can transfer them to the grill and cook until crispy and charred, brushing them with the marinade for extra flavor during grilling.
