Chicken Marinade
- 2 1/2 lbs party wings (chicken wings cut into segments without the tip)
- 3 tablespoons NOH Chinese Barbecue Char Siu Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Glaze
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together NOH Char Siu spice packet, Chinese five-spice powder, ground black pepper, garlic powder, chicken powder, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar.
- Marinate: Place your chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them, making sure that they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour, but preferably overnight.
- Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F. Air fry the chicken wings for 20 minutes. Flipping halfway.
- Finish with glaze: Prepare the glaze by mixing together honey and water until combined and use a pastry brush to brush onto the chicken wings. Air fry again until you get caramelization and a bit of charring on the outside (about 2-4 minutes).
Notes
For oven use, you would generally increase the temperature and cook longer. For this recipe, preheat your oven to 400°F. Place aluminum foil or parchment paper over a large baking sheet to reduce clean-up. Place a wire rack on top. Add the chicken on a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes. Flip. Then cook the other side for an additional 15 minutes. Baste the chicken with the honey mixture and continue cooking until caramelized (about 5 minutes).
