Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped garlic, hoisin sauce, light soy sauce, honey, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, and sliced green onions. Whisk everything together until well-blended to create a flavorful marinade.
2
Place the chicken wings in a shallow, non-metallic dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all wings are generously coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for a richer flavor.
3
Preheat your barbecue grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, lightly oiling the grate to prevent sticking.
4
Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the grill. Cook the wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning them once during cooking, until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5
During grilling, baste the wings with the reserved marinade to enhance their flavor and keep them moist.
6
In a small saucepan, heat any leftover marinade over medium heat until it comes to a boil. This will ensure it's safe to serve as a dipping sauce.
7
Serve the deliciously grilled wings hot, drizzled with the warm marinade for an extra touch of flavor. Enjoy these irresistible Tangy Asian BBQ Chicken Wings with friends and family!
