Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes + flats)
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (avocado/canola), plus more if needed
  • 12–16 garlic cloves, peeled (whole)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chili oil (with crunchy bits)
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Pat wings dry. Toss with salt, pepper, and cornstarch (if using).
  2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add wings in a single layer and sear 4–5 minutes per side until browned.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Push wings to the sides and add garlic cloves. Sauté 2–3 minutes until golden.
  4. Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili oil, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes (if using), and water in a bowl.
  5. Pour sauce into the skillet and toss everything together. Simmer 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve hot with extra chili oil drizzle.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic cloves for best flavor.
  • Adjust chili oil and red pepper flakes to control spiciness.
  • Serve immediately for crispiness.
