1
Start by lining a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
This is optional, however it catches a bit of the fat from the chicken when it cooks.
-
3
Lay the chicken wings onto the baking sheet, and generously season with salt and pepper.
-
4
Let these rest while you preheat your oven.
-
5
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Once heated, add the baking sheet onto the middle rack.
-
6
I cook these for a total of about two hours.
-
7
Yes, I know that sounds like a long time, but both my son and I love crispier wings.
-
8
By cooking them this long its almost as though you are deep frying them.
-
9
At the point where you see the wings getting a dark golden and almost crispy in texture, remove them from the oven, and flip each one.
-
10
Then continue cooking until the flipped side gets nice and crispy.
-
11
Again, total cook time is roughly 2 hours.
-
12
During this cooking time, make the sauce.
-
13
Basically you will add everything else on the above list but the green onions, cilantro and peanuts into a saucepan.
-
14
Cook on medium, to medium high heat, stirring along the way, until it begins to boil.
-
15
Then reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking until you have reduced the sauce by half.
-
16
This is where that great stickiness will come from on the wings.
-
17
Remove the wings from the oven.
-
18
Pour the sauce into a large mixing bowl, then add in the wings.
-
19
Toss to coat the wings with the sauce.
-
20
I then added the sauced wings into a cast iron skillet and placed them back in the oven, cooking on 350 F for an additional ten minutes.
-
21
This will allow that sauce to get even stickier and become like a nice glue on those wings.
-
22
Take that same mixing bowl and toss in the green onions, cilantro and chopped peanuts.
-
23
Once the wings are cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and add the wings back into the bowl, tossing with the green onions, cilantro and peanuts.
-
24
Gently slide those onto your serving dish and dig in.
-
25
These Thai sticky chicken wings are fun to eat, and are definitely finger food.
-
26
They are perfectly crisp and and have that perfect pull of a wing.
-
27
The flavors are out of this world as well.
-
28
You get the sweetness from the palm sugar and a great bite from the garlic, ginger and chili.
-
29
Hands down, these are awesome chicken wings.

Now the question is to lick or not to lick your fingers when you are finished.
