Giada Sticky Baked Chicken Wings Ingredients

for the Wings:

• 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips discarded
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice, from 1 lime

for the Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons clover honey
• 1 tablespoon Korean chili paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed

How To Make Giada Sticky Baked Chicken Wings

1. Marinate Your Wings: Add chicken wings into a resealable plastic bag. Pour in 1 tablespoon each of toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and lime juice. Seal the bag tightly, then shake and massage the bag to ensure the wings are evenly coated. Refrigerate and let the wings marinate for 3 hours.
2. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
3. Bake the Wings: Lay the marinated wings on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4. Prepare the Sauce: While your wings are baking, grab a small saucepan. Combine 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of Korean chili paste, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, 2 teaspoons of lime juice, and the smashed garlic clove. Place over medium heat and whisk until everything is well mixed. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it cook until it thickens about 5 minutes.
5. Glaze and Finish Baking: Take the wings out of the oven after 20 minutes. Brush them generously with your sticky sauce. Use a metal spatula to toss them gently, ensuring they are well coated. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are glazed and fully cooked through.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, give the wings another toss in any remaining sauce on the tray before serving. Enjoy your deliciously sticky and flavorful wings!

Can I Marinate the Chicken Wings Overnight?

Absolutely, you can marinate the chicken wings overnight to really infuse them with flavor. The longer marination time allows the Giada Sticky Baked Chicken Wings to absorb all the deliciousness from the marinade. Just make sure to keep them refrigerated and well-sealed.

Recipe Tips

• Prevent Sticking: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the wings from sticking. This not only makes for easy cleanup but also ensures your wings stay intact and beautifully coated.
• Enhance the Marinade: Add a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger to the marinade for an extra layer of flavor. Ginger adds a subtle zing that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
• Optimal Sauce Consistency: If your sauce seems too thick, thin it out with a tablespoon of water. Conversely, if it’s too runny, simmer it a bit longer until it reaches the desired consistency.
• Avoid Overcrowding: When placing wings on the baking sheet, make sure they are spaced out evenly. Overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than baking, which affects the texture and crispiness of the wings.

Recipe Variations

• Maple Sriracha Wings: Swap the honey for maple syrup and add a tablespoon of Sriracha sauce to the marinade. This combination provides a unique blend of sweetness and heat that will tantalize your taste buds.
• Garlic Parmesan Wings: Replace the chili paste with minced garlic and add a quarter cup of grated parmesan cheese to the sauce. This gives you rich, savory wings with a delightful cheesy finish.
• Coconut Lime Wings: Use coconut milk instead of soy sauce and add a teaspoon of lime zest to the marinade. This creates a creamy, tropical flavor that pairs wonderfully with the citrusy lime.
• Balsamic Glazed Wings: Substitute the lime juice with balsamic vinegar and add a teaspoon of honey to the marinade. The balsamic glaze caramelizes beautifully, adding a sweet and tangy depth to the wings.

What To Serve With Sticky Baked Chicken Wings

Serve your Sticky Baked Chicken Wings with a vibrant watermelon and feta salad, smoky grilled corn on the cob, creamy spinach artichoke dip, crispy parmesan truffle fries, and tangy kimchi coleslaw.

You can also pair these wings with savory herb-infused quinoa and a refreshing pineapple cucumber salsa for an exciting flavor combination.
