• Pineapple Juice: Any kind.
• Ginger Paste: Fresh grated ginger is also fine, we like ginger paste for this sauce because it’s smooth and blends easily into the sauce.
• Garlic Paste: Fresh garlic is also fine, of course. Again, we like garlic paste for this recipe because it’s smooth and blends easily into the sauce.
• Cornstarch: For thickening the sauce.
• Toasted Sesame Oil: Adds a delicious, nutty flavor.
• Cayenne Pepper: For just a touch of heat, not too much. Can be omitted if you don’t like any spice.
• Sugar: Just to sweeten the sauce a bit.

Other Ways To Cook Chicken Wings

Our preferred method for these Asian Chicken Wings is baking. Baking these wings makes the meat fall odd the bone tender, and is also less messy than frying.

You can also air fry chicken wings if you have an air fryer. The air fryer will make the skin crispier than baking, so if you like crispy skin that may be a method to consider.

And of course you can deep fry these wings if you love and extra crispy wing. Our popular Salt and Vinegar Wings are fried and we absolutely love them.

How To Store And Reheat

Place leftover chicken wings in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After that, you’ll need to transfer the wings to the freezer.

You can freeze chicken wings for up to 6 months in freezer bags. Reheat the wings right from frozen in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
