These honey oyster sauce chicken wings are one of my favorite recipes to make when I’m having friends over to watch the game.

They’re baked in the oven, so you don’t have to deal with messy frying.

They only require a few ingredients that you mix together and coat the wings with.

And they they taste great without marinating.

So you can throw them together without having to plan in advance.

Ingredients

oyster sauce wings ingredients - oyster sauce, honey, dijon mustard, seasme oil, hot sauce, pepper, sesame seeds

Here is your shopping list:

  • meat – 3 pounds chicken wings. For less work, buy “party wings” that are already separated.
  • flavoring – ½ cup oyster sauce
  • sweet – ¼ cup liquid honey
  • tangy – 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • heat – a few drops of hot sauce such as Tabasco
  • oil – 1 teaspoon sesame or vegetable oil. Sesame oil has a bit more flavor.
  • seasoning – ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Salt isn’t needed since the oyster sauce provides enough.
  • garnishes – sesame seeds, chopped green onions (optional)

Substitutions

  • Eliminate the hot sauce if you don’t like too much heat.

How to make oyster sauce chicken wings

Prep work

Pre-heat the oven to 375℉.

If you didn’t buy pre-cut wings, separate them at the joint and discard the tips.

Dry the wings with paper towel. This helps to keep them crispy while they are baking.

Line a baking sheet with foil. While this step is optional, it makes clean up much easier.

If you have a wire rack that fits on top of your baking sheet, put it in. This is also optional, but helps the honey glazed chicken wings to turn out crispier.

Make the wing sauce

oyster wing sauce in a bowl

In a small bowl, mix ½ cup oyster sauce, ¼ cup liquid honey, 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon oil and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Spread the wings out in a single layer, skin side down on the baking sheet or wire rack.

Brush the sauce on this side. Then turn the wings over and apply more glaze on the skin side.

Instead of this, you could mix the honey mustard glaze in a large bowl and then toss the wings in the sauce, if you prefer.

Make sure the wings are skin side up on the baking sheet before cooking.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Bake

Baked chicken wings with oyster sauce on a baking rack

Bake at 375℉ for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown and no longer pink inside.

Be careful not to leave them in too much longer than this. The honey will start to burn.

To make the skin a little crispier, broil for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully while you do this to make sure they don’t burn.

While most wings can be cooked at 400℉ to decrease the cooking time and make the skin crispier, don’t try that with these wings.

The higher temperature will cause the honey to burn before the meat is cooked.

Garnish

  • measuring cups and spoons

  • Turn the wings over (skin side up) and brush on the remaining oyster sauce mixture.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

  1. These look delicious! Love the idea of using oyster sauce, bet it gives you that “hmm what is that unique flavor” feeling! Also like wings that are baked not fried.

    1. Thanks, Krystle! Hard to believe but…I live in the south and have never learned how to properly fry chicken…so I have a whole lot of baked chicken recipes 🙂 And I do think the oyster sauce adds a little extra zing to these wings. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Can you cook the chicken wings in the Instant Pot for 5 or 6 min and then finish in the oven with sauce?

      Hi Karen…I haven’t tried making them with the Instant Pot, but I think it would be fine to make them that way.
