- 1/2 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 Tbls Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbls Tamari
- 2 Tbls Mirin
- 1 1/2 Tbls Oyster Sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbls Hoisin Sauce
- 1 Tbls Chile Garlic Sauce

The Chicken Wings
We’re using 1 pound of chicken wings. The amount of sauce in this recipe should be enough for up to 2 pounds of wings but you can always multiply the ingredients to make more sauce. We’ve been using some wings from Costco that are already separated but we’ll probably go back to using whole wings once we use these up. We’ll put our chicken wings into a bowl.
The Sauce
Everything else goes into the sauce. We will marinate the wings in the sauce and then baste them with it while we cook the wings. We’ll start by putting 1/2 teaspoon each of Chinese 5 Spice and Toasted Sesame Oil in a small mixing bowl.
Brown Sugar, Tamari and Mirin
Next we will add 2 tablespoons each of brown sugar, tamari and mirin. We are using tamari instead of soy sauce to keep these wings gluten free.
Oyster Sauce, Hoisin Sauce
Next we’ll add 1 1/2 tablespoons each of oyster sauce and hoisin sauce. The brands of these sauces that we have on hand are gluten free but you’ll probably want to check the labels to be certain.
Chile Garlic Sauce and Garlic
Next we’ll add 1 tablespoon of chile garlic sauce. You can find this sauce in a jar in the Asian section of your grocery store. We’ll also add about four cloves of minced garlic.
Lemon, Ketchup and Ginger
Now we’ll squeeze in the juice of a lemon, add 1/4 cup of ketchup and one tablespoon of grated ginger. You could substitute a good barbecue sauce for the ketchup if you want.
Mix The Sauce
Now we just need to mix the sauce together well. We’ll do this with a whisk to make sure we get it mixed well.
Marinate the Chicken Wings
Once we have our sauce well mixed we will pour it over the chicken wings. We’ll stir this and let the wings marinate for an hour. You should give this at least 10 minutes but longer is better.
Cook the Chicken Wings
We’ll preheat the oven to 350°, Line a baking sheet with foil, spray it with cooking spray and lay the wings out on the prepared tray. We’ll save the remaining marinade to use later.
1st Cook 25 Minutes
We’ll cook the wings for 25 minutes, take them out of the oven and baste therm with the sauce. You don’t need to turn these wings over.
2nd Cook 10 Minutes
Now we’ll cook the wings another 10 minutes, take them out and baste them again.
3rd Cook 15 Minutes
The last cook for our wings is 15 minutes. We’ll take them out and they are ready to plate. You might need to let them cool a bit first.
Plate the Wings
Now we will plate our wings.
Sesame Seeds
We’ll garnish the wings with a sprinkling of sesame seeds. They’ll stick to the sauce nicely.
Green Onions
Lastly we’ll finish our plates with some sliced green onions.
