Copycat Hooters Asian Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

This copycat of the Asian wings from Hooters is beyond incredible. These are easily my favorite Asian-flavored wings. I could not possibly eat too many of them. I quickly regretted not making a bigger batch as they disappeared in minutes. The sauce is the boss here. It’s a bit sweet with a bit of soy flavor. Reduced to a thick glaze, the sauce is almost candy-like in texture. And like candy, it’s impossible to resist.

Copycat Hooters Asian Wings

These copycat Hooters Asian wings are not spicy in any way, shape, or form. I’m usually a ‘hot’ hot wings guy, but these opened my eyes to wings with a sweeter inspiration. If you want your wings to have some kick, add dried red pepper flake or cayenne to the sauce as you reduce it down. I would not add hot sauce as it would change the color of the sauce.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Serve these wings with my copycat of Hooter’s fried pickles.

I absolutely love chicken wings, cooked any way, with any sauce (or without). I love them so much that I created a free eCookbook that is full of my favorite wing recipes.

Copycat Hooters Fried Pickles

I can’t remember when it was a few years ago that we discovered deep-fried pickles. They’ve quickly become a favorite appetizer for us. A local restaurant, CR Heroes Family Pub, has great fried pickles. They’re simple and yummy, just like this homemade version of a copycat Hooters fried pickles. Make sure you make a double batch because they’ll disappear in no time.

Copycat Hooters Fried Pickles

Although I just sprinkled these copycat Hooters fried pickles with sea salt, you can get adventurous and use Cajun seasoning, fresh ground black pepper, or even Italian seasonings. These fried pickles are the perfect side dish for my copycat of Hooter’s Asian chicken wings.
