Baked Thai Chicken Wings

Nothing like picking up a couple of kilos of marked down chicken wings from the supermarket, especially when you’ve been craving some sweet, spicy, finger-lickin’ wings. I was in the right place at the right time on this particular day. I think they were only about $2 for the 2 kilos (4.4 lbs). They were just what the doctor ordered on this summery, hot day and the leftovers kept well in the freezer for another quick meal.
I cut the chicken wing into thirds and kept the wing tips for the dogs. I laid them all out in a plastic dish suitable for marinating.

The marinade consisted of some basic pantry staples which was shaken (not stirred hehe) and poured over the chicken wings and left to marinate overnight ensuring I flipped the container and shook the wings around a bit.

I placed the marinated wings on a wire rack to allow excess fat to drip away from the wings.

They came out lovely and golden with a slight burn on the edge for crispiness from the brown sugar I added to the marinade.

Served with a sprinkling of fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves and a side of sweet chilli sauce, they were lip smackin’ good and a change from the usual honey/soy combination I usually do.

Baked Thai Chicken Wings
  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tbs sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tbs lime juice
  • 1 tbs sesame oil
  • 1 tbs garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  1. Add ingredients to a jar and shake well (or whisk well in a jug).
  2. Pour marinade over chicken wings and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight is better).
  3. Place chicken wings on a wire rack and back for approx 25 mins in a 180 deg C oven or until golden brown and cooked.
  4. Serve with sweet chilli sauce or soy sauce for dipping and a sprinkling of fresh coriander (cilantro) for garnish.
  5. Great for a snack, light lunch or serve with rice and vegetables for a main meal.
  6. Suitable to freeze.
