I have been wanting this recipe from my SIL Elmien for years – I know, how sad that it took me this long to get around to asking for it. In fairness though, I could always rely on Elmien to make these for us so I never really had to get the recipe but now, she and my brother live over 100 kilometres away from us to it necessitated me having to make these myself. You will be sorry if you don’t make these delectable, oh so moreish wings; yip, they are that scrumity and couldn’t be easier to make and I managed to only amend the recipe a wee little bit. Do you always have the uncontrollable urge to amend recipes?
Sticky Chicken Wings
Ingredients
16 chicken wings
2 garlic cloves crushed
½inch piece ginger grated
2.5ml ground black pepper
15ml brown sugar
15ml sunflower oil
15ml white vinegar
30ml thick soy sauce
30ml honey
60ml sweet chilli sauce
Method
- Remove and discard the tips of the wings. If you like, you can cut the wings in half – makes for easier eating
- Combine all of the ingredients and add the chicken in an oven proof baking dish and stir until well coated.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes basting regularly.
- If the sauce is still runny, reduce in a pan and pour over the wings before serving.

Chicken wings like that are a standby here … you can play around with the basic glaze quite a bit, of course, but your recipe is so much like my favorite way… and yours look especially nice the way you have photographed them
By: sybaritica on August 21, 2012

This is a fabulous recipe to play around with by mixing the ingredients up with others. Must say it was quite a task to photograph them, glad the pics work. Have a super day John and I hope you and your wife are nicely settled in your new home.

One can never have too many wing recipes. This one, Mandy, really does sound “scumity.” (Love that word!)
By: ChgoJohn on August 21, 2012

I think I tend to over use my favourite word “scrumity” but it just works so well, especially when something is really scrumity!
Have a great day John.

Oh I’d love these Mandy, I’m going to bookmark this one! And no I have no real idea why we have to “play” with recipes, he only answer I can think of is “because we can”

I too usually play around a little with ingredients, especially if there’s something really spicy but this recipe looks perfect as is although I might ease up on the chilli sauce just in case. The glaze looks absolutely beautiful and I can picture myself with a pile of these & some fresh corn on the cob – I’ll be happy.
By: dianeskitchentable on August 22, 2012

It must be inbred in our DNA to play around with recipes Diane. The sweet chilli sauce I use is quite mild so works perfectly with this and I love the idea of corn on the cob as an accompaniment. Have a super day.
By: thecompletecookbook on August 22, 2012
at 17:27
I’ll have to find that sweet chilli sauce, sounds like something I can handle. I don’t mind a little kick, it’s when someone dumps enough chilli peppers in a recipe that everyone’s gasping for breath.
By: dianeskitchentable on August 22, 2012

Oh no, I don’t like that either, then I can’t taste anything but BURN!

Sticky wings would be very popular at a cocktail party…I’ll just have to double up or triple up on the napkins.
By: Karen on August 22, 2012

I would go with a tripling up on the napkins Karen and making at least a double batch. Have a lovely day.

Yes, I am an incorrigible recipe amender–can’t quite bring myself to cook without tinkering and tweaking, it seems. Clearly this amended recipe is well worth following just as it is, though!
