These Oyster Sauce Baked Chicken Wings come together with just 7 ingredients. While the seasonings are few, they are mighty in flavor thanks to the power of oyster sauce!
Easy, Flavorful Wings
This wing recipe is one of the easiest possible ways to cook chicken wings.
The only tip you need to make sure they come out great is marinating them for at least an hour or overnight to ensure they’re well-seasoned. From there, it’s pretty impossible to mess these up unless you fall asleep with the oven on!
The results are sticky, crispy flavorful wings. As for the oyster sauce, for anyone who’s worried about them tasting fishy—don’t be! Kind of like with anchovies, the flavor really mellows.
The oyster sauce is supported by other ingredients you probably already have, like garlic powder, salt, and sesame oil.
Oyster Sauce + Chicken
Chicken and oyster sauce is a match made in heaven. Anyone who has made our easy Sticky Oyster Sauce Chicken will love these.
Bonus, because of the sugar in the oyster sauce you get a zero-effort glaze when the marinate bakes into the crispy chicken skin.
And to answer your question, yes you can definitely adapt this baked chicken wing recipe to make baked chicken thighs or leg quarters (probably best on dark meat cuts, though)!
On to the recipe!
Recipe Instructions
In a large bowl, toss the wings in the salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
Let the wings marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Transfer the wings to a sheet pan lined with non-stick foil or parchment paper.
Bake the wings for 25-35 minutes until golden brown, rotating the pan once at the halfway point.
Towards the end of the baking time, just make sure the edges of your baked chicken wings aren’t burning!
Plate them up, and serve!

Maybe the best wings I’ve ever made.
Wow, how great is that :-)
Can I fry these instead?
Yes, you can, but I’d put a light coating. Please refer to Bill’s popular fried chicken wings recipe for reference on the light coating.
Making these wings tomorrow!!!
Wooooo!

Thank you so much, Wally! We truly appreciate your support over the years :) Happy new year to you and yours! :)
Made these for appy’s on Christmas Day. I marinated for about 12hrs. Followed the recipe as written. They were sooooo good!!! Lots of flavor. It’s a keeper along with your other wing recipes. I’ve made your other wing recipes over and over again, all of them soooo delicious. Looking forward to your cookbook. Happy New Years to your family!
Delicious! I’m so glad they were a smash. We’re looking forward to sharing the new cookbook! :D Happy new year!
Wow – I didn’t even marinate the wings for an hour and it was so tasty! I used the air fryer and it was crispy and delicious!! The oyster sauce shown is the BEST brand to use (our family has used it for generations – the little boy and the woman in the boat). We also used that brand of sesame oil – the BEST! So yummy!
Yummy, thanks for the stars, Jen!
This was delicious! Made it with drumsticks. My new favorite recipe! Thank you!
Yay! Thanks, Lynn :)
I made these for snacks while watching football over thanksgiving weekend. They were a big hit!
Thanks, Edmund! :)
