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.
Everybody loves chicken wings and every now and then you need to change up your recipe, experimenting with new and exciting flavors. And my Chinese Sticky Chicken Wings is a delicious way to add a new taste experience to your family’s dinner table!
I love how citrus flavors, especially the different varieties of tangerine juices lend themselves to Asian style dishes. And as I was trying to think of what to make for this months post, 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!

July 5, 2018 at 6:02 pmI 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.

July 5, 2018 at 5:57 pmI 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.

September 26, 2017 at 8:28 pmHi, can I use orange juice instead of tangerine/clementine juice? These look delicious!
Chef Dennis Littley says
September 28, 2017 at 12:16 pmYou certainly can, it won’t affect the flavor at all.

May 3, 2016 at 7:21 pmYour 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!
