Ingredients

Chicken Wings, Hoisin sauce, Cooking oil, Soy sauce, Sesame seed oil, Rice vinegar, Sugar, Water, Garlic powder, Ginger powder, Paprika powder.

There are various types of chicken wings: whole wings include the flat, tip, and drumette, while separated wings consist of just drumettes and flats. Smaller wings cook faster and are more tender, while larger ones may need an extra 5 to 10 minutes in the oven. Check the internal temperature for doneness. Hoisin sauce and rice vinegar provide an Asian flair and a smoky flavor. If hoisin is unavailable, mix soy sauce, peanut butter, and rice vinegar. Adding sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and paprika enhances the dish’s flavor.

Instructions

Prepare a small bowl and add Hoisin sauce, cooking oil, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, water, sugar, ginger powder, garlic powder, and paprika powder. Mix the barbecue sauce blend with a small spoon and stir.

Rinse the chicken wings and set aside. Pour barbecue sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly. Reserve some sauce for basting later. Arrange the wings on a wire rack atop a baking tray to ensure even cooking. For easier cleanup, line the tray with foil or parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC, and then bake the chicken wings for thirty minutes with the fan on. Thereafter, remove the tray from the oven, coat the chicken wings with the remaining sauce, and put the wings back in the oven. This time, lower the temperature to 150ºC and bake for another fifteen minutes with the fan off. Drizzle fresh lime juice and serve with sides to enjoy the delicious baked chicken wings. This dish is hands-off and baked in the oven, making it perfect for family gatherings, barbecues, and cosy nights at home.

What to Serve with Barbeque Chicken Wings?

Barbecue chicken wings have a slightly sweet, savoury, and tangy flavour. Consider serving with steamed jasmine rice or garlic bread. Fried rice with eggs and spring onion kimchi will also pair well with the chicken wings. Pickled vegetables or a fresh green salad will contrast with the richness of the chicken wings.

How do you store and reheat Barbecue Chicken Wings?

After cooking barbecue chicken wings, let them cool completely before refrigerating. Store in an airtight container for up to five days, or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, use a microwave by covering the wings on a plate and heating for about two minutes, adding more time if needed. For a crispier option, heat them on medium-low in a pan with a tablespoon of oil. Cover for two minutes, then toss and heat for an additional two minutes. Thaw frozen wings before reheating.
