Juicy, oven-baked chili garlic wings slathered in a sticky, sweet and spicy keto sauce packed with Asian inspired flavor.
These Asian chicken wings are for those who think wings should come with a side of napkins. Similar to my garlic parmesan wings or buffalo wings, these keto party wings are slathered in a sweet and spicy sticky sauce that will have you licking your fingers before you reach for another one.
What makes this keto recipe work is the blend of simple, easy-to-find ingredients. A combination of avocado oil, soy sauce, sugar-free honey (though regular honey works just as well if you don’t mind the extra carbs), chili garlic sauce, fresh garlic, and a little ground ginger creates the perfect balance of sweet and spicy for these oven baked wings.
Party wings (aka drumettes and flats/wingettes) are marinated in this homemade sauce before baking. But to get the best flavor, the Asian chicken marinade is reduced down into a glaze that gets brushed all over the baked chicken for that sticky, finger-licking finish. A quick trip under the broiler gives them an irresistible caramelized finish, and a sprinkle of thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds adds freshness and crunch.

Asian chicken marinade
In a large bowl, combine avocado oil, soy sauce, ¼ cup sugar free honey, chili garlic sauce, minced garlic and ginger powder. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade to use for later.
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- ⅓ cup soy sauce or tamari
- ¼ cup sugar free honey
- ¼ cup chili garlic sauce
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Marinate chicken
Add wings to bowl with the chicken marinade. Toss the wings to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- 2 lb party chicken wings
Bake the wings
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil-lined tray. Spray the wire rack with cooking spray. Evenly space the marinated wings on the wire rack. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Flip wings, then return to the oven to bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
Make chili garlic glaze
Add the reserved marinade to a small saucepan along with remaining sugar free honey (about 1 tablespoon). Heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer until thickened (3-5 minutes).
- ¼ cup reserved marinade
- 1 tablespoon sugar free honey
Glaze and broil
Once wings are done baking, remove the baking tray from the oven and brush chili garlic glaze all over the wings. Return to the oven but place under the broiler on the top rack and broil on high for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Keep a close eye on the wings while broiling to make sure they don’t burn.

Just started keto and these wings really hit the spot! The glaze was perfect - spicy, a little sweet, and so flavorful. Definitely making these again for game night.
Made these wings for a weekend movie night and they turned out great. I let them marinate a bit longer, about 3 hours, and the flavor really soaked in. Loved the sticky glaze on top.
