Can I use a different type of curry paste?

Absolutely! You can substitute red curry paste with green or yellow curry paste for a different flavor profile.

How can I make the wings less spicy?

Reduce the amount of curry paste or add more coconut milk to mellow the heat.

Can I grill these wings instead of baking them?

Yes, grilling is a fantastic alternative that adds a smoky flavor. Grill the wings over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and cooked through.

Thai Curry Wings Recipe: Crispy, Creamy & Packed With Flavor

Description

Bold, aromatic, and bursting with flavor, these Thai Curry Wings combine spicy curry paste, creamy coconut milk, and zesty lime for a mouthwatering appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken wings, split at the joint, tips removed
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)
Optional: 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Optional: 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Optional: 1 tablespoon honey
Optional: 1 red chili, sliced (for extra heat)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Remove wings from marinade and arrange on the wire rack. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While baking, pour remaining marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Brush wings with thickened sauce and return to oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For crispier wings, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Adjust spice levels by modifying the amount of curry paste or adding red chili slices.
