Asian BBQ Wings - Amazing chicken wings marinated with ginger, garlic, soy sauce and honey. Easy recipe you must try in summer!
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!

Ooh, I love chicken wings, especially saucy ones! The asian twist on these is calling my name!
The wings was perfectly delicious!! Followed this recipe exactly as written. One member of the family does not like wings, will this work on drumsticks as we will make this again tomorrow???
Much appreciated!!
Thanks for trying my Asian BBQ wings recipe.
If we were to pan fry them, how much oil should we use and how long do we cook them for?
Just use non-stick and add a little oil and cook until they are cooked.
Loved these wings. I baked them in an oven at 180 degrees for about 45min, but 35min would probably have been enough. Came out deliciously charred and tastes exactly like the wings sold in the hawker centres in Singapore. Great recipe!
Do I need to increase the ingredients amount proportional with wing weight?
Yes.
I thought these were especially good but while making the marinade, at least for our tastes, I thought it was lacking heat and acid. I decided to add red pepper flakes and a couple tsps of rice wine vinegar. They came out very delicious. I will be using this recipe again in the future. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Madmema, thanks for trying my Asian BBQ wings recipe, good call on he red pepper flakes. For rice wine vinegar, it’s not a typical Asian ingredient, but I am glad you modified the recipe to fit your taste. :)
Do they need to marinade overnight? If not how long do you recommend?
Hi this recipe seems perfect for my upcoming Bbq gathering with friends! Can I replace honey with maple syrup instead?
Should be OK.
Do we need wings with skin or without
All wings have skin. There is no skinless chicken wings.
Hi, can I pan fry them instead? (煎）
Yes you can. :)
