Instructions
Marinating the Wings
- Toss chicken wings in a bowl with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Ensure they are well coated and let them marinate for about 20 minutes.
Sautéing the Aromatics
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, stirring until fragrant and golden brown.
Cooking the Wings
- Add the marinated chicken wings to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Sweetening the Deal
- When wings are golden brown, stir in honey and sugar, coating them evenly with the mixture.
Adding Heat
- Toss in sliced red and green chilies and cook for another 3-5 minutes to adjust spice level to taste.
Finishing Touch
- Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the wings before serving.
Notes
For extra crispy wings, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes after sautéing. Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheated in the oven.
