Looking for a new way to wing it? These Coriander & Hoisin Chicken Wings are the perfect mix of sweet, savoury, and zesty! With a quick-to-make marinade packed with fresh coriander, garlic, lime, and hoisin sauce, these wings are so good you’ll want to lick your fingers clean. Serve them up with fluffy jasmine rice and a refreshing cucumber salad for an easy meal that’s sure to impress.
These Coriander & Hoisin Chicken Wings are a flavour bomb in every bite. The fresh coriander adds a herby brightness, while the hoisin sauce brings its signature sweet and savoury richness. A hint of lime juice ties everything together with just the right amount of tang, making these wings absolutely irresistible. Whether you’re serving them as a snack, a party dish, or part of a satisfying dinner, they’ll always be a hit.
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. Everything for the marinade goes straight into a food processor, saving you time and effort. Once blended, the marinade clings to the chicken wings, infusing them with bold flavours as they rest in the fridge. The longer you marinate, the deeper the flavour – but even a couple of hours will do the trick.
Cooking them in the oven ensures crispy, golden edges while keeping the meat tender and juicy. The aroma that fills your kitchen as they bake is enough to make your mouth water! Paired with steamed jasmine rice and a Quick Asian Cucumber Salad, this meal hits the perfect balance of indulgence and freshness.
Coriander & Hoisin Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- 1 bunch coriander, leaves and stems (approximately 1 cup)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as vegetable, canola or rice bran)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (I use Lee Kum Kee brand)
- ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 1.5kg chicken wings, tips removed and cut in half
To Serve
- Steamed jasmine rice
- Quick Asian Cucumber salad, optional (See Notes)
- Steamed Asian greens, optional
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (except chicken wings) into a small food processor and process until throughly combined.
- Place chicken wing nibbles into a zip-lock bag. Pour over the marinade, seal and massage in to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or longer if time permits. Turn bag over every now and again in the fridge if you have time.
- Preheat oven to 180℃ (160℃ fan forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Arrange chicken wings in a single layer onto tray. Bake for 45-50 minutes, turning once during cooking time, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with steamed jasmine rice and Pickled Cucumber Salad.
Notes
- MEASUREMENTS
We use Australian Metric measurements. 1 teaspoon = 5ml, 1 tablespoon = 20ml and 1 cup = 250ml
We use extra large free range eggs with each egg weighing approximately 59g each - CHICKEN WINGS
If you do not wish to slice chicken wings at the joints you can purchase this already done for you in the poultry section at your local big supermarket. They are usually labelled as “chicken nibbles”. They do cost a little more per kilo though to have this already prepared for you. - TO SERVE
I like to serve with steamed jasmine rice and my Quick Asian Cucumber Salad when using for a main meal but you could always add steamed or stir-fried Asian vegetables to the side as well to make it more complete. When serving for a gathering, these wings really don’t need a dipping sauce as they are so flavoursome. But if you really feel you need to, you could serve with a Thai style dipping sauce, Sweet chilli or a lime mayonnaise. But just try them. I promise, you won’t need it.
