Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

Crispy baked chicken wings are tossed in a sweet, sour, and sticky sauce. These chicken wings are addictive and the perfect party appetizer.

Let’s take a moment and look at those Crispy Baked Chicken Wings with that glossy sweet and sour sauce.  These Sweet and Sour chicken wings are the best ever Asian appetizer I have ever made. The sauce is sticky and sweet with a hint of sourness. You can’t stop licking your finger at the end.

If you are hosting a weekend party, then don’t forget to include these in your menu planning.

The sauce is perfectly balanced. It has the right amount of sweetness and sourness. While there are a lot of recipes that use white sugar/ Brown sugar, the sweetness comes from honey in the case of these wings.

There is no difference in taste when you substitute sugar with honey because I have tried both versions.  Another good thing about these Sweet and Sour chicken wings is, they are baked not fried.

Tips for Perfect Crunchy Chicken Wings.

Whether you use wings with or without skin, you need to follow below few steps for the perfect crispy outer skin

• Make sure the wings are not wet and water dripping from it. Place the wings on a kitchen towel and press gently to make sure there is no extra liquid.
• Chicken wings should be at room temperature while cooking
• While tossing the wings in baking powder and cornstarch mixture, do it in batches. Don’t add the mixture all at once. This ensures the wings are evenly coated.
• Once the wings are cooked it starts to release water. So place the cooked wings on a wired rack until you toss it with the sauce.

If you are making this for a big crowd, you can make bake the wings and make the sauce beforehand. And Just before serving, heat the sauce and toss in the crispy wings.
