These grilled or roasted Ginger Soy Chicken Wings are always popular. The simple and tasty marinade can also be used on other meats and seafood.
The weather has been really nice these past few days. It is bright and sunny and temperatures will continue to be in the low 70’s through the weekend. Spring is definitely in the air as the crocuses, daffodils, and irises are already peaking out from the ground. Ro-Jiro went for a jog after school today and our neighbor did some grilling out on the deck. One can feel the neighborhood emerging from winter hibernation.
As we transition into warmer weather, I think of salads and grilled foods. I grabbed a couple of bags of chicken wings on sale at the grocery store. Though wings are not something I buy often, they would be a nice change from the other meatier parts. Besides, I know the boys will enjoy them.
Tried and Tested Ginger Soy Marinade
I used a simple ginger soy marinade that has been around ever since I can remember. This marinade was and is still used on most meats from chicken and pork to shrimps and squids. We did not have bottled barbecue sauce back in the “old” days. This time, I reduced the sugar but feel free to add more if you prefer. I roasted these Ginger Soy Chicken Wings in the oven.

Sweet Chili Sauce
Sweet chili sauce is very popular in Malaysia and Singapore. People prefer them to ketchup and most fast food chains like Kentucky and MacDonald’s have them. My favorite brand of sweet chili sauce is Lingham’s Hot Sauce made in Malaysia. They come in several flavors – ginger, garlic, Thai, mild, sweet & spicy. You can find this hot sauce in specialty grocery stores here or buy it on-line.
Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day! 😎

I love chicken wings and these are perfect with their Asian flavors. I think I would take these flavors over the typical hots sauce any day. 🙂 I am excited spring is here… I just hope we have 60-70 degree weather for a few months before summer weather takes over. 🙂 Have a great weekend!! ~ Ramona

Biren says
I am with you Raymund. 🙂
Jeannie says
I seldom buy chicken wings too as my boys do not like this part of the chicken. I would use the drumstick which is their favorite! Your wings sounds delicious especially with lingham chili sauce which is a favorite of mine too!
Biren says
This would definitely work with drumsticks but may have to increase the roasting time. So glad to find Lingham hot sauce here. 🙂
Katherine Martinelli says
Yum, I love chicken wings and these flavors are just wonderful! Your new landing page looks wonderful as well, Biren.
Lyndsey says
Oh this is my favorite! So simple and simply delicious! My family in Michigan are cautious of the hot weather they’ve been having. Worried about the apple blossoms coming out and then another freeze. I don’t know what Holland Michigan will do for the Tulip Festival this year!
I am off to check out your new home page!

Nami | Just One Cookbook says
We love wings and eat it often! This is very simple method and I should try your recipe next time (we get bored with the same/similar recipe)! Sweet chili sauce was my addiction for a long time… you are making me start to get addicted… 😉
marilyn says
Here I thought I was the only one who washed my meat before preparing it! Thanks for the recipe
Biren says
I have always washed all the meats I buy from the store before cooking. It is not difficult. I dry it by blotting with paper towels.
