East Asian Style Wings Recipe
These wings are known for their tantalizing mix of savory, sweet, and umami flavors, thanks to ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Imagine tender, juicy chicken wings coated in a glossy marinade that balances the saltiness of soy with a hint of sweetness and the warm kick of fresh ginger.
Baking offers a slightly healthier option while still achieving that golden, caramelized finish, while frying adds extra crunch. Conversely, grilling brings a smoky edge that pairs beautifully with the bold Asian flavors. No matter the method, these wings are simply irresistible!
Serve them with a spicy sriracha mayo, creamy ranch, or tangy sesame dipping sauce for an extra layer of indulgence. They pair wonderfully with simple sides like steamed rice, crunchy Asian slaw, or even stir-fried veggies. Trust us, these wings won’t last long on the table—they’re that good!
How do I know the chicken wings are fully cooked?
The best way to know your chicken wings are fully cooked is to grab a meat thermometer! It’s quick, easy, and guarantees perfect wings every time.
Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat (avoid touching the bone) and look for a temperature of 165°F.

How do I store leftover chicken wings?
Storing leftover chicken wings is super easy, and it ensures you’ll have a tasty snack ready whenever cravings strike!
First, make sure those wings cool down completely—popping hot wings straight into the fridge can mess with the temperature and cause sogginess (no one wants that!). Once cooled, pop them into an airtight container or wrap them tightly with foil or plastic wrap. Keep them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Want to keep them even longer? Toss them in the freezer! Just use a freezer-safe container or bag, and they’ll stay delicious for up to 3 months.

Do you dip your wings in a dipping sauce?
Looking superb, love that crispy shell.
Thank you for sharing and participating at SSPS 349. See you at #350
I love the crispy coating as well! Such a simple appetizer to make!
How would I do these in an oven, not an air fryer?
Great question! 🍗 You can absolutely make these wings in the oven instead of an air fryer. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), then place the wings on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. This helps the heat circulate for crispy results! Bake for about 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Once they’re beautifully golden and crispy, toss them in that delicious East Asian-style sauce. I hope you love them as much as we do—happy cooking! 😊
I am not a fan of bones in chicken wings, so I usually try to make hot wings but with boneless options. With that being said, my daughter does not seem to mind the bones in chicken wings. This is a different idea than one I would come up with and for that I thank you for the recipe!
but, you could make the same recipe without bones 🙂
