I love chicken wings but I don’t like the hassle of deep frying. So I baked the chicken wings in the oven.

I love Chinese sweet and sour sauce so when you combine the two ingredients together, you get a serving of mouthwatering chicken wings that you can whip up easily at the comfort of your home.

There is no need to deep-fry the chicken wings. This recipe is easy, no hassle as the wings are baked in the oven until crispy. You get almost the same texture as deep-frying, but much healthier and with no grease.


Sweet And Sour Sauce

Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce for chicken wings.

While the chicken wings are baked in the oven, prepare the homemade sweet and sour sauce. I used the most basic ingredients for the sauce, so there is no need to rush to Asian stores.

The sweet and sour sauce calls for ketchup, soy sauce, Sriracha and sugar. That’s all.

Ingredients  

  • 1 1/2 lbs (750g) chicken wings, drumettes and middle sections
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 dashes ground black pepper
  • white sesame

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C).
  • Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer them to a large bowl and toss with the oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, then place a baking rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
  • Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the wings are fully cooked and crispy, about 45 to 50 minutes. Be sure to check on them periodically.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce in a saucepan. Heat the mixture until it thickens and begins to bubble slightly. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • When the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and add it to the sweet and sour sauce. Toss a few times to coat well. Top the chicken wings with white sesame seeds and serve immediately.
