This is a near-effortless recipe that offers easy substitutions for ingredients that you might not have on hand.

No Hoisin sauce? Add an extra tablespoon of molasses instead. No rice vinegar? Any vinegar will do, especially cider vinegar. Dried ginger can be used in place of fresh. Ditto for garlic.

Asian Wings are fall-off-the-bone moist and pleasantly sticky

Gluten-free version:

Omit the hoisin (replace with molasses) and substitute tamari for soy sauce if you want to make these easy Asian wings gluten-free.

    Any recommendations for chili sauce?
    Do you have a “home made” recipe?
    Should it be a hot sauce?
    Thank you.
    The recipe looks so delicious!

    These wings are delicious and quick to whip up! They develop a beautiful deep bronze glaze as they bake. The meat is moist and falls off the bone. I was roasting root vegetables in the oven with the wings so lowered the temperature to 425°. My wings were small and were done in just under 25 minutes. They need to be watched closely under the broiler. The sticky glaze has a tendency to burn. I let the chicken marinade in the molasses mixture for about 18 hours, and reserved the excess marinade to reduce with additional molasses while the wings were in the oven. The reduction was an excellent dipping sauce for the oven roasted root vegetables.

      Dear Deborah, I’m sorry that the recipe didn’t work for you. If you have had great success with other wings recipes you could always just use the sauce from this recipe.

    I will definitely try this recipe – tired of buying honey garlic in a bottle at the store :-)

      Hi Karen, I figure why buy what you can easily make at home. Enjoy!

    Oh, my… I think my erstwhile favourite Barbecued Chicken Wings recipe has just been supplanted! Don’t know that I’d call this recipe ‘near effortless’; I think wings are going to be fiddly no matter how you do them. But this method is a great improvement over flouring and browning the wings before baking them…

    The molasses produces a richer flavour than any teriyaki type marinade I’ve made before, and I had the foresight to make up 1 1/2 recipes of the coating just to make sure the wings would be adequately covered with it. And then I basted them with the leftover sauce, for the same reason. And then I gobbled up probably half the recipe… Thanks!

      Hi Margaret, I love your idea of making extra sauce, since they can never be too sticky! Glad you enjoyed the recipe.

    if i was using ginger powder and garlic powder,how much should I use?

      Dear Helen, I have never made the recipe with dried ginger and garlic so I would suggest that you start with 1/2 tsp. of each and then taste the sauce to see if it has enough flavour for you. Good luck and enjoy.

      Hi Candace, I hope you enjoy them. They’re a little addictive though so be warned.
