Asian BBQ Wings

Originally published on May 22, 2014. Updated with new photos.

It’s unofficially summer, and it marks the start of my favorite time of year (check out my summer recipes).

Coming from the tropical island of Penang in Malaysia, I love the warmth of sun, more importantly, I love summer parties, BBQ cookouts, beaches, ice cream, shaved iced, sundresses, sandals, and so much more. Summer is indeed a happy season!

To celebrate summer, I made these amazing Asian BBQ wings, which is an excellent BBQ wings recipe to add to your summer grilling and BBQ repertoire.

These Asian BBQ wings are pre-marinated with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and five-spice powder. The wings are always a hit whenever I have summer parties.

They are always the first ones to go. They are excellent hot off the grill, and great with a dash or two of your favorite chili sauce.

For the wings, I recommend party wings, which you can get from the frozen section of all supermarkets.

Party wings are usually smaller and they are perfect for this recipe. I am not sure about you, I am always skeptical about those super-sized chicken wings that look like turkey wings than chicken wings.

Costco is also another great place to load up a bunch of party wings. Try this amazing Asian BBQ wings recipe and I am sure you will be making them again and again!
