Thai Place Wings

This right here is why I love (absolutely love!) buying wing sauces from small, non-chain (or at least, regional chain) restaurants and bars. That’s where I often find the best flavors. These Thai Place wings are a huge winner. I mean huge. All from a Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh, that has, sadly, closed, but you can still find their wing sauce in stores! I found it in Jungle Jim’s outside of Cincinnati. And boy am I ever glad that I did! This sauce is has hints of soy sauce. It’s sweet for sure. And there’s a little heat kind just hovering around in the background. Not upfront so it’ll bite you, but it’s there.

Make Some Wings!

There’s no need to over-complicate this situation. Make some wings. Doesn’t really matter how. I went with air-fried wings. You can go with baked. Grilled. Whatever. Even store-bought frozen ones (plain, of course). Just get ’em done and get them in this sauce. You’re gonna enjoy these Thai Place wings no matter how the wings are made. The sauce is definitely the star of this show.

Make sure you get extra bottles of the sauce. It’s great on smoked (or grilled) ribs too!

Legend Larry’s Teriyaki Wings

Legend Larry’s makes some absolutely terrific wing sauces. I’ve enjoyed them all, again and again. Their Teriyaki wing sauce, though, is something above and beyond absolutely terrific. This is a big favorite in our house. We always look forward to a batch of wings covered in this sauce. It’s nice and thick, but not gloppy. It’s likely sweet, but not cloyingly so. It has that traditional teriyaki flavor, but it’s not so strong that it overpowers your senses. It’s the perfect balance of everything you want and need in a wing sauce.

Asian-Inspired Wing Greatness

You could sure put this sauce on a stir fry, or use it as a dipping sauce for nuggets. Or on a grilled chicken sandwich. But for me, Legend Larry’s Teriyaki wing sauce is a hands-down true winner on wings. And it’s one of my wife’s favorites too. That says a lot. She’s picky about her wing sauces, and she’d pick Legend Larry’s any day of the week.

Great Value Asian Sweet Chili Wings

Whenever we stop at Quaker Steak & Lube, my wife ALWAYS orders the Thai’R Cracker wings. The sauce combines a great sweetness with a little kick, all in an Asian-inspired chili sauce. We always grab a couple extra bottles of their sauce when we eat there. But if we can’t get to a Quaker Steak & Lube, we grab a bottle of Great Value Asian Sweet Chili wing sauce instead. It’s a mighty great substitute. Perfectly sweet with just a bit of heat. Nothing to be afraid of, but something to enjoy!

Nicely Sweet

Because this Great Value Asian sweet chili wing sauce is a bit on the sweet side I tend to use a bit less sauce than I normally would. That’s just my personal preference. My wife would lean towards more sauce instead.

Plucker’s Gochujang Wings

I’ve actually made my own gochujang sauce-based wings before. And they were very, very good. But I have to admit, I don’t dream about them. I do, however, dream about Plucker’s Gochujang wings. It’s a bit sweeter than my version, and I really like that. And the gochujang sauce is well, a bit less funky. I could drink this sauce right out of the bottle. It’s a very well-balanced tasting sauce and is delightful on wings.

Another Great Sauce From Plucker’s

As with pretty much any of their sauces, Plucker’s Gochujang wing sauce is also great on hot-off-the-grill grilled chicken (I like chicken quarters). And ribs. Oh so good on ribs. When you buy a bottle of wing sauce (and really, any wing sauce), don’t just think wings. Many sauces are great for other dishes too!

Kroger Korean BBQ Style Wings

If you’ve never had Korean BBQ sauce, I highly recommend it. For someone who grew up on traditional American-style ketchup BBQ sauces, I find the Asian-inspired Kroger version to be just different enough and downright tasty. Soy sauce, garlic, and a little cayenne for heat make a nice sauce that is just the right thickness for wings. And for the price (on sale for around $2 if you’re lucky) you definitely cannot beat Kroger Korean BBQ Style wing sauce!

Asian-Inspired Wing Greatness

I’ve made my own Korean BBQ style wing sauce a number of times. I love homemade sauces. And I love bottled sauces. Especially when they are as good as Kroger Korean BBQ Style Wings sauce.

This sauce is also fantastic as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets or tenders. It’s also great on burgers, and hot dogs. I love BBQ-like sauces on hot dogs. Add onions (fresh or deep fried) and I’m one happy hot dog-eatin’ guy!

Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing Wings

If you like the Quaker Steak and Lube Thai R Cracker wings sauce (it’s my wife’s favorite, by far) you’re going to love Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing wing sauce. It’s similar in taste and consistency, but a bit spicier. Actually it’s a good bit spicier. Lightly sweet, it’s finger-licking good and one of my favorite BW3 sauces.

The Perfect Asian-Inspired Sauce

I’ve been known to use this sauce on much more than wings. I love it as a dipping sauce for homemade pork or chicken egg rolls. And it totally rocks for dunking chicken nuggets.

If you have leftover sauce, of course keep it in the fridge. But, when it comes time to make a batch of wings and sauce them up, make sure to set the sauce out for at least 30 minutes before using it. Nothing makes a batch of hot wings sadder than a cold sauce!

Legend Larry’s Sweet Thai Chili Wings

Legend Larry’s Sweet Thai Chili wing sauce is fantastic. I am not surprised, though, because every sauce I’ve had from Legend Larry’s has been fantastic. Always the right consistency. Never overpowering. Just flat-out fantastic. This sauce has a slight kick, but not too much. You just notice it. It’s slightly sweet, but not so much so. It’s a great chili sauce by itself, but on wings it’s perfect.

The Perfect Chili Sauce

Whomever comes up with the sauces at Legend Larry’s deserves a raise. I’ve never had anything but great experiences with their sauces. Memorable experiences. The Legend Larry’s Sweet Thai Chili wing sauce is just another in a long list of sauces that make me happy. Get yourself some and get happy too!

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce, I use these sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables.

Moore’s Asian Teriyaki Wings

Whoa back up the truck to teriyaki yumminess! We both loved the heck out Moore’s Asian Teriyaki wing sauce. Though the bottle says you can use the sauce on anything from vegetables to stir-fry to whatever, the sauce was amazing on wings. Not overly sweet as teriyaki sauce can sometimes be. Not overloaded with soy sauce or ginger. Just flat-out perfect teriyaki flavors.

Don’t Drown Your Wings

I made sure to not overly sauce my wings. Some places you buy wings at like to bury their wings in sauce, usually to hide skimpy thin wings. Not me. I use the big wings and I want to taste the wings too, not just the sauce. Even if that sauce is delicious like Moore’s Asian Teriyaki wing sauce!

Soy-Ginger Glazed Air Fryer Wings

8? 12? 18? How many of these soy-ginger glazed air fryer wings could I eat? Well, I’m not telling. But the answer is definitely ‘a lot’. The sauce on these wings is sweet, salty, savory… and slightly citrusy. No heat here. But plenty of amazing sweetness that is beyond finger-licking good. I actually made this sauce for roasted Brussels sprouts, but after tasting it I realized that its true calling was on wings. And boy, was I ever right!

Yesterday Seems So Far Away

You have to make the glaze for these soy-ginger glazed air fryer wings the day before you plan on devouring them. Don’t realize 10 minutes before it’s time to eat that you need to make it. That’s too late. Do it the day before and refrigerate it overnight. You’ll then have the perfect glaze. Thick. Like molasses. Delicious. And oh so worth it.

The Air Fryer? Again?

No, no, you don’t really have to make these wings in the air fryer. Make the glaze the day ahead. Then make the wings however you want. I went air fryer because that’s my go-to less-mess technique. Grilled, deep-fried, baked… doesn’t really matter. Just make some wings your way. Then glaze them!

Need Heat?

If you’re a gotta-have-it-spicy person, add a few pinches of red pepper flakes to the glaze while it’s simmering happily away. Let it flavor the sauce. Don’t go crazy with it, though. A little is ok. A lot? You’ll overwhelm the delicious sauce.

Servings:

Calories: 538kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

For the glaze (make the day ahead!)

½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup sugar
1 ¼ cup soy sauce low-sodium is fine
1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced

For the wings

3 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

For the glaze (make the day ahead!)

Combine the brown sugar, sugar and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Bring to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring often, until the sauce reduces by one half. The sauce will thicken somewhat and will continue thickening as it cools later.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh ginger.
Let cool then place into a resealable container in the fridge overnight.
Bring to room temperature before serving. I set the container out while I prepare the Brussels sprouts.

For the wings

Note: Before starting, remove the glaze from the fridge so it can come to room temperature while you cook the wings.
Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer’s recommendation.
Sprinkle over the wings with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Note: You'll have to work in batches to cook all of the wings unless you have a super-large air-fryer. Do not overlap the wings in the basket or they will not cook evenly.
Add the wings to the basket (be careful it’s hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes for large wings, 10 minutes for smaller ones.
Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again (10 minutes for smaller wings) at 375 F.
Flip the wings one last time. Increase the temperature to 390 F and cook another 6 minutes (4 minutes for smaller wings).
Remove and toss or brush with the glaze. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

For a spicy version add a few good pinches of red pepper flake to the glaze while it is reducing.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

General Tso’s Chicken Wings

I stopped at a Wing’s Etc not long ago when I was out of town on a little trip. I’d never been to one. I ordered their wings sauced up in the Say It Ain’t Tso sauce. I devoured them like I hadn’t eaten in days. The sauce was sweet. And a little spicy. And the wings were cooked perfectly. Service was fantastic too. When I got home I set out to make my own General Tso chicken wings.

Nothing But Greatness

I could eat General Tso’s chicken wings daily. The sauce is definitely one of my all-time favorites. My version isn’t overly sweet. But it does bring a little heat. Not such a fan of a spicy wing sauce? Just cut back a bit on the red pepper flakes. I wouldn’t leave it out, though, because I think it adds an important flavor to the sauce.

The wings here are easy. Just tossed in cornstarch and deep-fried. No seasonings required. The sauce is the winner here. I recommend making extra.
