Sticky and crispy, sweet and spicy baked Asian chicken wings are the perfect appetizer or accompaniment for your dinner party, super bowl, or game day.
The chicken is marinated first with simple ingredients, baked to perfection until crispy, and then tossed in sweet and spicy Asian-flavored sauce.
If you are making this for parties, I highly recommend you double or triple the recipe. I make more sauce than needed and store it in the refrigerator. These wings will disappear very fast.

How to make Asian sauce or Chinese sauce for chicken wings
Melt butter in a pan. Add hot sauce, chilli sauce, chile powder, brown sugar, and soy sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add cilantro and mix. Switch off the flame. I generally prepare more sauce than needed as we love our wings to be saucy. You can also dip your veggies or serve it even with the main course or simply store it and make another batch of wings if desired.

Recipe FAQs
Chicken wings always taste the best when baked fresh out of the oven and tossed in sauce. But yes, you can bake the chicken wings ahead of time, cool them, and refrigerate them for a day without the sauce. Then reheat them in the preheated (400 degrees F) oven for 5 to 6 minutes or until they crisp up.
You can also make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Just heat it before you toss it to the wings.
Do not forget to coat and marinate your chicken in baking powder, salt, and cornstarch. And while baking, place your chicken wings on a wire rack oven baking sheet. This ensures good heat circulation and any drippings are collected in the baking sheet below.
The alkalinity of baking soda raises the pH level of chicken skin, causing the break down of peptide bonds and accelerating the browning process, resulting in quicker and crispier browning of the wings.
