Everyone loves wings and my Chinese Sticky Wings will rival those from your favorite Asian restaurant! Make these for your next get together or as a treat for family night.
I love how citrus flavors, especially the different varieties of tangerine juices lend themselves to Asian style dishes.
Although I do love buffalo wings, I like to change things up every now and then so my friends and family don’t get bored with my cooking.
As I was trying to think of a new wing recipe, I remembered the delicious Sticky Chicken Wings I enjoyed at Disney’s Polynesian and did my best to recreate the magic at home….. Mission accomplished!
I always like to start a recipe by gathering my ingredients together for our Sticky Chicken Wings (aka mise en place).
Of course every now and then I either forget an ingredient or decide to add another after beginning the recipe. In this case, I simply forgot to add the tomato paste to the picture…..sigh
The recipe is pretty easy to make and only requires about 20 minutes of marinating.
Just about the right amount of time to preheat your oven! You can marinate in a bowl or a ziplock bag. Take care to zip up the bag securely and place a pan or plate under it while marinating.
The end result are these gloriously delicious and beautiful Chinese Sticky Chicken Wings. Just make sure to cook up enough of these beauties, because once you start eating them it’s hard to stop!
What are you making next time your friends come over? Why not try my Chinese Sticky Wings? I know your friends will love them.

I have made these several times. They are delicious. Sometimes I even share. My family likes their wings crunchy and I could not get these crunchy enough for them by just baking. I deep fry the wings first, dip them in the sauce and then bake them for 5 to 7 minutes. My family barely waits for them to cool off before they dive in.
Cindy says
I can’t wait to make these. I could just dive into that plate of yumminess. Going to make my own five spice cause I see myself making these OFTEN.
Chef Dennis Littley says
They are insanely delicious Cindy, please let me know how you like them!
Cindy says
Have my marinade ready as we speak. Need to prepare the wings and in the oven they go. I may not share…lol
Cindy says
I have made these several times. They are delicious. Sometimes I even share…lol. My family likes our wings a little crunchy so I deep fry the wings first, cover them in sauce then bake them for about 5-7 minutes. My family doesn’t even wait for them to cool off before diving in.

Hi, can I use orange juice instead of tangerine/clementine juice? These look delicious!
Chef Dennis Littley says
You certainly can, it won’t affect the flavor at all.

Adam J. Holland says
Your food always looks great and this is no exception. Is it OK if I make these before football season? Because I really like making wings and society seems to think they’re only football food. Frankly, I think wings would taste mighty fine watching the boys of summer. — Wonderful recipe, man. Thank you!
Chef Dennis Littley says
