Notes on the Sweet and Sticky Chicken Wings (Canh Ga Sot Ngot) Recipe, Tips and Tricks
This recipe is super easy and very easy to adjust to your flavor preference. If you like the sauce a bit sweeter, add 1-2 Tbsp agave nectar for a delicate sweetness. If you prefer more intense and salty flavors, add 1 Tbsp soy sauce or oyster sauce. It all works! Find plum sauce at any Asian grocery store. Hoisin sauce is the condiment you eat with pho. Mirin wine is a slightly sweet and tangy rice wine and complements chicken really well. You can substitute Mirin wine with your favorite cooking wine as well.
Use any brand of chicken wings available. A lot of times you can stock up during a sale at your grocery store. I love Kirkland’s organic chicken wings from Costco. They are sold in a three pack with each pack weighing about 2 pounds, so enough for one recipe.
Season the chicken with just garlic powder, salt and pepper. The robust flavors come from the homemade marinade. Marinate the chicken for as long as it takes you to prep the rest of the ingredients.
Pan fry the chicken wings in a large non-stick skillet. Flip and move the pieces around in the skillet for even cooking and browning. If using a smaller skillet, cook the chicken wings in two batches.
These chicken wings are deliciously gooey and saucy! You can make extra sauce and serve it as a dipping sauce.

Tools I Love and Use in My Kitchen
Hello chi Trang, chicken wing is my family’s favorite! I am always on the hunt for a good recipe and yours ranks right up there with simple and yummy recipe. I’ve tried it a few days ago and my little boy ( he’s 17 so not little any more) anh husband gave a thumb up! I’m planning to make this again for a gathering and I was wondering if I can bake the wings and at what temperature instead since I’ll be fixing other dishes as well so time is of essence. Thank you!
Hi Ann,
I am so thrilled you hear you and your family enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for trying my recipe and sharing your comments. Great question and baking the wings is a wonderful option to pan-frying. Bake the wings at 400 F for 45-50 minutes. Use a wire rack and rotate the wings for even browning. Another tasty option is grilling the wings and brushing the sauce on top during the last few minutes. Have a wonderful get-together and wishing you good eats!
Thank you chi Trang! Have a great Fourth!
