For the Wings
- 30 Wings
- 2 tablespoon Granulated Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Onion
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon Fresh Cracked Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
For the Spicy Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
- ½ Cup Cider Vinegar I used Braggs
- 2 Cloves Garlic peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoon Fresh Ginger peeled and roughly chopped, about 1 thumb
- ¼ Cup Fresno Chilis seeded and roughly chopped, about 2
- ¼ Cup Raw Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 teaspoon Arrowroot plus ¼ cup water for the slurry
- 3-4 Cranks Fresh Cracked Pepper
Let's cook the wings!
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.
In a bowl, add in the wings, seasonings and olive oil. With a rubber spatula, mix until the wings are nicely coated.
Place the wings, skin side up, in a single layer on a foil covered baking sheet.
Put in the oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, increase the oven temp to 450. Cook another 30 minutes.
The wings should be nice and crispy now. Remove from the oven and set aside.
For the Spicy Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
While the wings are cooking, let's make the sauce.
Add the Garlic, Ginger, Chilis, Honey and Fish sauce to a mini-prep or food processor. Blitz until it is chopped really well.
Add the honey mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add in the Cider Vinegar and stir. When it starts to bubble a little bit, add in the Arrowroot slurry.
Mix well and add in the salt and pepper. Continue to stir consistently for 6-8 minutes.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool until the wings are cooked.
Bring it all together
Add some of the sauce to the bottom of a clean mixing bowl.
Toss in some wings and stir around with a rubber spatula to coat.
Serve immediately and happy eating!
I like these with a little freshly chopped green onion. I just use the green part for some freshness that is delicious.
You can also add some of the sauce onto the wings during the last 4-5 minutes of cooking if you want them a bit glazed.
