Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients and pour over wings.
- Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the sauce for a few hours or overnight before baking. You can substitute honey for sugar for a more natural sweetness. If you're short on time, using pre-made barbecue sauce can save you effort, though it may alter the flavor profile. Consider adding a splash of lime juice for a zesty kick.
Serving Suggestions
These Oriental Barbecue Wings are perfect for a game day feast or a casual gathering. Serve them alongside steamed rice or a fresh green salad for balance. They also pair beautifully with Chicken Salad Supreme (Makes 6 To 8 Servings) as a light side. For drinks, consider a chilled beer or a refreshing iced tea to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 2-3 minutes, but the oven method will keep them crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings, but it’s best to thaw them first for even cooking. Simply place them in the refrigerator overnight or run them under cold water until thawed. This will help the marinade penetrate better and enhance the flavor.
How can I make these wings spicier?
To add some heat, incorporate red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the marinade. You can also serve the wings with a spicy dipping sauce on the side for those who enjoy extra kick. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference for the best results.
Can I grill the wings instead of baking them?
Absolutely! Grilling will add a smoky flavor to the wings. Preheat your grill and cook the wings over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and have a nice char. This method will also keep them crispy and delicious.
