Who doesn’t love wings? I have to say, wing night is right up there with taco night at my house. Everyone gets excited for wing night.
The only question is which wings are we having? Nacho Wings? Salt and Vinegar Wings? Or now these Sticky Hoisin Chicken Wings…
A couple of our favorite wing recipes are fried but some are oven baked. I’m definitely not afraid to break out the oil and go in for the deep fry but an oven baked recipe is definitely a little easier to deal with on a busy night.
There’s even some wing recipes I’ve seen that cook right in your slow cooker…haven’t tried that yet but it’s on the list!
But you do have to marinate these wings and I do like to marinate them overnight if possible. If you get them in the marinade in the morning and give them a good 6-8 hours that’ll work too. They’re still going to be one of the best wings you’ve ever tasted…
So get them in the marinade which is made up of hoisin, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, rice wine and sriracha – just a teaspoon for some background heat – not too much to make them super spicy. You’ll use half the sauce to marinade the wings and half to baste on the wings as they cook.
After they soak up all that marinade they go into the oven to bake.
These wings are going to bake at 425 – pretty high heat – but that’s the way to make them come out crispy like a fried wing, without using all the oil.
Definitely a 10 napkin dinner here…which makes dinner that much more fun.

- 1/4 cup water
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha

- 4 garlic cloves (crushed)
Instructions
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, then use 1 cup of the sauce to marinate the chicken wings in a large bowl or resealable bag for 8 hours or overnight.
