I love the flavors of chili, ginger, garlic and soy. Our Grilled Asian Style Chicken Wings are a perfect heat and not sticky, not overly sauced, just right. Serve with some cucumber slices on the side to tone down the heat and a spoon to scoop up the yum sauce.

These wings are an easy appetizer to put together. If you are making these for a crowd, make extra sauce so people can have enough to dip their wings into.

Grilling the Chicken wings

For the Grilled Asian Style Chicken Wings, you start by grilling the wings. Preheat your grill, to a medium high heat, around 425 degrees or so.

To prepare them, pat dry and sprinkle garlic powder, ground white pepper and salt on both sides of the wings. Grill them until they are done and typically they will get crispy on the outside from the grill. While they are grilling, prepare the sauce.

For the sauce

Combine the rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, Korean chili flakes (Gochugaru), sesame seeds, sugar, and pinch of salt to a non stick pan. Heat the sauce until the sugar melts and all the ingredients are combined. Keep warm.

Once your wings are done, toss well. You want the wings to be completely covered in sauce. I serve them in a bowl with a spoon on the side so you can add more sauce if you so choose.

Top with more sesame seeds, Korean chili flakes and some finely chopped scallions. Pour yourself a cold beer and enjoy!
