Crispy Glazed Chicken Wings with Tangy Dipping Sauce

Crispy baked or fried chicken wings coated in a flavorful glaze and served with a tangy dipping sauce for the perfect appetizer or party snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated at joints and tips removed
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp chili flakes or hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp fresh scallions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for dipping sauce)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry, then toss with cornstarch, oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the rack.
  3. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
  4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ketchup, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove wings from the oven and toss them in the glaze until well coated.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the tangy dipping sauce.
  7. Serve wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds and scallions, with dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, let wings air-dry in the fridge for an hour before baking.
  • Can also be deep-fried instead of baked for restaurant-style wings.
  • Adjust chili flakes or hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
