Ingredients

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

Instructions

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!

Notes

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.
