Thai Grilled Chicken Wings
Thai grilled chicken wings are smoky, juicy, and packed with bold, savory flavors. I’ll show you how to grill them in the oven, air fryer, or on the grill. I use a simple marinade that makes every bite taste like Thai street food.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 1/2 cup cilantro (small bunch or use 2-3 cilantro roots)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp ground pepper (black or white or 1/2 tsp each)
- 4 TBSP coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice. If using white sugar, make sure to use low heat so that the chicken cooks before turning brown or burn.)
- 4 TBSP oyster sauce
- 4 TBSP soy sauce
- 4 TBSP dark Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water (to get the blender going)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken wings: Separate the flats and drumettes if needed; poke holes all over the wings with a fork so the marinade can penetrate the meat and reduce marinating time.
- Blend the marinade: Combine cilantro, garlic, ground pepper, coconut sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and water in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth to create a flavorful, well-balanced marinade.
- Marinate the chicken: Place wings in a large bowl or zip-top bag, pour in the marinade, and toss to coat evenly: let sit for at least 1 hour or overnight so the wings absorb all the savory Thai flavors.
- Grill the wings: Preheat grill to medium-low heat and brush the grates with oil: cook wings for about 15 minutes, flipping every 5–6 minutes, until nicely charred and the internal temperature reaches 165–175°F.
- Air fry the wings (optional method): Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket with all pieces facing the same direction: air fry at 370°F for 14–15 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
- Bake the wings (optional method): Line a baking pan with foil and place a rack on top, then arrange wings on the rack: bake at 400°F for 30–35 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, sticky rice, or fresh herbs: these wings are perfect for parties, weeknight dinners, or game day snacks.
