SWEET CHILI WINGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut each chicken wing in half at joint.
• Mix oil, cilantro, soy sauce, 2 tblsps garlic, ginger and ¼ tsp crushed red pepper in large bowl; add chicken wings and turn to coat; cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400F; cover bottom of large baking sheet with aluminum foil; transfer chicken to baking sheet; bake until cooked through and golden-brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine vinegar, sugar, water, chili-garlic sauce, remaining ½ tblsp garlic and remaining ½ tsp crushed red pepper in medium saucepan; bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until glaze thickens to syrup consistency, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer baked chicken wings to large bowl; pour glaze over; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (If you have one that fits, lay a cooling rack inside the baking sheet, this helps get the chicken extra crispy – see note below).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, light soy sauce and one teaspoon of fresh chili paste. Taste and adjust the spiciness to your liking. Set aside a 1/2 cup of the sauce for tossing the raw chicken in and save the rest for once the chicken has cooked.
• Toss the wings with reserved 1/2 cup of sauce then add to the prepared baking sheet. Bake chicken, turning once during cooking, until opaque throughout and crispy, about 30 minutes. If you would like, spread or brush a little more sauce onto chicken wings half way through cooking.
• Toss cooked wings with the remaining sauce, pile onto a plate then sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.
