Have you ever had the Thai wings from Houlihans?! They are out of this world. They are made with a sesame ginger soy sauce. This recipe was crafted so you can make your own version at home!
Thai Sauce Ingredients
- Soy Sauce
- Ginger
- Green Onions
- Rice Wine Vinegar
- Sriracha
- Sesame Oil
- Garlic and Honey
How to Make Thai Chicken Wings
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine flour and chicken seasoning in a bowl large enough to dredge the chicken.
- Pat the chicken dry. Coat each chicken wing in the seasoned flour.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and add the wings to the pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes and then flip the wings.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Glaze each piece of chicken with the Thai chili marinade.
- Return the chicken to the oven. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is crisp and has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
How to Make the Sauce Stick the Wings
To get the sauce to stick, you will need to drizzle it over the chicken wings once they have pretty much fully baked. Then return the wings to the oven to soak in all of the sauce.
How to Keep the Wings Crispy
Breading the wings with flour and properly applying oil will help the wings crisp. If you see visible areas of flour on the wings after air frying or baking, spray more oil and allow them to cook a little longer.

I have not made your Thai chicken wings yet, but reading your ingredients I do not see soy sauce as part of the marinade, but t refers to it having soy sauce on it ????? Was it left out by mistake ???

You are right! Yes, this was a mistake. I have added it. It’s such an important ingredient! Thanks for catching.
Claire
HI, I was happy to let you know something was amiss. I once got a recipe from a friend for making a cake. By mistake I doubled the sour cream in the cake and it was so much better, much moister inside. My friend said what did I do to her cake, she could not believe how great it was. Thank you.
staysnatched
That’s awesome! I love when things like that happen.
Stephanie
I haven’t invested in an air fryer yet, but I want to get one. Maybe I’ll ask for it for my birthday next month! I love the idea of surveying your readers for which recipe they want to see next. My husband loves chicken wings of almost any flavor, I bet he would really enjoy these!
staysnatched
Thank you! I loved the survey idea, too. I plan to do more this year.
Marjie Mare
Friday, I will have some friends over, and I think I can make those Thai chicken wings for appetizers, I will let you know.

I love this recipe. My family loves eating chickens in various way. I love incorporate seed in my meals too. It gives special flavor.
Jakub Husek
Can we build some instant transferring service where you make these and they appear in front of me? I would demolish those immediately they look so great!!
staysnatched
Haha! Let me get right on that!

This actually looks good! I’ve been on the fence with the whole air fryer thing, but I’m now leaning more toward buying one… and an instant pot.

I make a ton of recipes using both the Instant Pot and Air Fryer. You won’t be disappointed!
