Makes 2–3 servings

Cook Time: 45 min

Estimated Calories: ~480 kcal per serving (with sauce)

Ingredients

Wings

• Chicken Wings — 1 kg, patted completely dry
• Olive Oil — 1 tbsp
• Garlic Powder — 1 tsp
• Paprika — 1 tsp
• Salt — 1 tsp
• Black Pepper — ½ tsp
• Baking Powder — 1 tsp (aluminum-free)

Asian Zing Finish

• Asian Zing Sauce — ½ to ¾ cup, warmed

Our TwoFoodies Twist

• Use baking powder to help crisp the skin in the oven — no fryer needed.
• Toss wings in warmed Asian Zing sauce only after baking to preserve crispiness.
• Finish with a quick oven return to lightly caramelize the glaze.

Steps

1. Preheat oven – Set to 220°C (425°F).
2. Dry the wings – Pat wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. The drier the skin, the crispier the result.
3. Season – Toss wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and baking powder until evenly coated.
4. Prepare tray – Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange wings in a single layer.
5. Bake – Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
6. Optional broil – Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crisp.
7. Toss in sauce – Let wings rest 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with warmed Asian Zing sauce until evenly coated.
8. Caramelize glaze (optional but recommended) – Return wings to the oven at 220°C for 3–5 minutes to lightly set and caramelize the sauce. Watch closely to prevent burning.
9. Serve immediately – Wings are best hot and glossy.

Plating

• Arrange wings on a platter while still glossy.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
• Serve immediately while crisp.

TwoFoodies Tips

• Never sauce wings before baking — sugar will burn and ruin crispiness.
• Use a rack for airflow; this is key to golden skin.
• Internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
• If making ahead, reheat unsauced wings and toss in sauce right before serving.
