Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split at the joints, tips discarded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions, cilantro leaves
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Let’s keep things tidy!
2. Prep the Chicken Wings:
- Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. Dry wings = crispy wings. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Give them a little massage to make sure they’re evenly coated. You’re treating those wings right!
3. Bake ‘Em Up:
- Arrange the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. While they bake, you can start making the sauce. Multitasking at its finest!
4. Make the Garlic Chili Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir everything together until it’s well combined and heated through. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
5. Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the prepared garlic chili sauce over the wings, tossing them gently to coat evenly. You want every wing to be dripping with deliciousness!
6. Final Touches:
- Transfer the saucy wings back to the baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Pop them back into the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes. This step helps the sauce to caramelize and stick to the wings like glue.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Then, transfer them to a serving platter, sprinkling with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and cilantro leaves for an extra pop of flavor and color. Get ready to dive in and enjoy the game with these irresistible baked bang bang chicken wings!

With these baked bang bang chicken wings, you’ll score big with your friends and family on game day. Sweet, spicy, and oh-so-satisfying, they’re the ultimate crowd-pleaser. So, grab a wing, take a bite, and let the flavor explosion begin!
