# Asian Zing Wings · Easy Family Recipes

Dine at home with these delightful **Asian Zing Wings**! These sweet and spicy wings are straightforward to prepare, allowing you to customize the level of heat to your liking. This recipe has gained a devoted following! With their irresistibly sticky-sweet-spicy sauce, Asian Zing Wings quickly become a favorite. While you could visit a restaurant for these wings, I find making them at home to be far simpler. Just place either fresh or frozen wings in your slow cooker, season them, and let them cook until tender. After that, generously coat the wings with your homemade Asian Zing sauce and give them a quick bake until they achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior. I love to brush on additional sauce right after baking and serve them hot with a cooling dipping sauce like buttermilk ranch. They vanish in an instant!

## Why This Recipe is So Appealing
– **Customizable** – Tailor the heat level of these Asian Zing Wings by reducing the Sriracha for a milder option. If you’re catering to spice fans, feel free to increase the Sriracha!

– **Delectable!** – The sauce—a delightful mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy—pairs beautifully with the tender, fall-off-the-bone wings. You’re bound to love making these Asian Zing Wings.

## What Are Asian Zing Wings?
My kids particularly adore the Asian Zing flavor from Buffalo Wild Wings. These wings are enveloped in a sticky sauce that is sweet, savory, and just a touch spicy, creating an extra delicious treat! While I don’t possess the Buffalo Wild Wings recipe, this homemade alternative captures a similarly fantastic sweet flavor for the wings.
