  • Avocado oil spray

Sticky Glaze:

  • ¼ cup sweet Thai chili sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Prep the Wings: Pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then lightly spray with avocado oil.
  • Cooking Options:
    • Baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a cooling rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Continue baking until crispy and golden, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) or higher.

  • Make the Sticky Glaze: While the wings cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ketchup and sweet Thai chili sauce, stirring for about 2 minutes until bubbly and caramelized.
  • Coat the Wings: Toss the cooked wings in the sticky glaze until fully coated and caramelized.
  • Serve & Enjoy! Dig in and get ready to lick your fingers—these wings are irresistible!
