These oven-baked Chinese sticky wings are crispy, with an addictive, sticky glaze.
I’m currently obsessed with chicken wings again. The weather got unexpectedly cooler these last few days, so I was able to turn on the oven again and made a batch of sticky Chinese chicken wings.
The wings are easy to prep, with the oven doing most of the work.
This recipe uses a lot of my favorite Chinese pantry ingredients and the wings are first marinated in a blend of Chinese sauces. I don’t fry them, instead they are baked in the oven until crisp. Another brush of marinade goes on before the wings are broiled until the sugars give the wings a slight char.
Ingredients
- Chicken party wings
- Sriracha
- Sesame oil
- Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine)
- Light soy sauce
- Lemon juice
- Brown sugar
- Hoisin sauce
- Oyster sauce
- Minced garlic
- Minced ginger
- Cornstarch
- Water
Recipe Steps
In a small bowl, stir together the sriracha, sesame oil, cooking wine, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger.
Place the chicken wings in a large Ziploc bag and then pour the sauce in the bag. Close the bag and marinate the chicken for 30 minutes.
Remove the wings from the bag (reserve the marinade) and place the wings on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are spaced apart. Bake the wings at 400°F for about 40 about 50 minutes or until skin is thin and crispy.
Take wings out of oven and brush them with a coat of the marinade. Turn oven up to 450°F and then bake the wings for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly charred. Be sure to watch them so they don’t burn.
While they bake, pour the rest of the marinade into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil.
Mix the cornstarch with the water and then add this mixture to the marinade. Continue to simmer the sauce until it’s thickened. This will take about one minute.
Brush the baked wings with one final layer of the sticky glaze. I like to garnish them with sesame seeds and chopped parsley, but this is optional. Serve the wings while they are hot and crispy.
We loved these Chinese sticky wings. They smelled amazing while they were baking and tasted even better. We polished these off in one evening.

Great recipe, these were wonderful. The down side, no leftovers. 😉 I’m going to try with snipped green onions instead of parsley next time. Usually have green onions, had to buy the parsley. But delicious, everyone loved them.
I think these would work equally well with green onions too!
Wish I had these now, for breakfast! They look incredible!!
Thanks Matt! I wish I had some leftover for breakfast..my husband felt compelled to finish them off last night
Wow! You should open a popup restaurant! I’d be first in line for your wings! 🙂
Soo
p.s. Jeni’s ice cream on sale at Bristol Farms. The vanilla wouldn’t scan and I got it for under $9. 🙂
