These chicken wings are coated in a flavorful Asian-inspired glaze and baked to perfection for a delicious appetizer or snack.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
Place the chicken wings in a baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly.
In a blender, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, rice wine vinegar, chili paste, and sugar. Blend until smooth.
Blending the sauce ensures all ingredients are well combined for a consistent flavor.
Pour the sauce over the chicken wings and toss to coat them thoroughly.
Use a spatula to scrape all the sauce from the blender to avoid waste.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Turn the wings halfway through baking for even cooking.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and caramelized.

Serve the wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch.
Serve with a side of dipping sauce or fresh veggies for a complete dish.
