Forget the deep-fryer and preheat your oven for this crowd-friendly recipe for Crispy Baked Asian Chicken Wings starring a sweet and tangy DIY sauce.
There are few occasions when I’d argue that “baked” rules over “deep-fried.” But believe it or not, a piping hot oven—and not a vat of bubbling oil—is the secret to the crispiest, crackliest chicken wings.
And with just five ingredients and 50 minutes, you’ll be licking your fingers clean for every last taste of these Crispy Baked Asian Chicken Wings. Sound too good to be true? Fear not! It all comes down to a simple technique of baking the wings at high heat atop a rack. No boiling oil = the crispiest, easiest chicken wings to ever hit your lips.
I consider myself a bit of a wing connoisseur. Buffalo, sesame, teriyaki, barbecue—you name it, I’ve winged it.
While it’s hard to beat basic butter and hot sauce, I’ve turned to my favorite hoisin and blackberry jam glaze (of mini-meatball fame) to add a sweet and tangy twist to each crunchy bite.
I guarantee these wings will fly off the plate. (You had to know that was coming.)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Rinse wings and drumettes and pat dry. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with vegetable oil and spice blend until well coated. Position wings on baking racks in a single layer ensuring that wings aren't touching.
Bake, rotating pan half-way through, until fully cooked, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove wings from oven and transfer to a large bowl.
Whisk together hoisin and blackberry jam in a small saucepot over medium-low heat until warm.
Drizzle wings with sauce, tossing until well coated. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
