If you love sweet and spicy chicken you’ll love this delicious twist on wings with my easy gluten free recipe for Grilled Sweet and Spicy Asian Sticky Drums. A delicious homemade marinade coats drummies, grilled to a crisp perfection, and sprinkled with fresh green onions.

White square bowl filled with brown stick wings topped with green onions.

If you love chicken wings and chicken drums you’ll love this fresh take on Sweet and Spicy Chicken wings. My husband loves wings and I love to switch up the traditional buffalo flavor and come up with different flavor combos. These wings are perfect just the way they are served. No need to add ranch or bleu cheese dressing to dip them in. The sweet balances out the heat that these wings have. Just make sure you have a napkin or two since they are on the sticky side.

Directions

Stainless steal grill with lid open and a ton flipping chicken wings.
  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, hoison sauce, oyster sauce, ground ginger, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper. Place half the sauce in a zip-top baggy, reserve the rest of the sauce for after the wings are cooked. Add chicken drums to the baggy. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 1 hour or no longer then 24 hours.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat (around 500 degrees) then lower the heat to low.
  • Add chicken drums to the grill. Grill for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Make sure internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove drums from the grill and toss with the remaining sauce from the bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks

  • Marinating – Make sure you take the marinating time into account when making these wings. I advise to make the marinade and let the wings sit at least the night before or morning before you plan to grill. Do not let the wings marinate more then 24 hours.
  • Dividing sauce – This recipe calls for half the sauce to be marinated on the wings and the other half to reserve for basting after the wings are done.
  • Internal Temperature for Chicken – Always make sure you use a meat thermometer whenever you are cooking chicken. Chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

    I wonder if you could do these in the crock pot? We don’t have a grill..we don’t have much of a yard

      Laurie–you could definitely bake them in the oven. Not sure about the crock pot–I’m sure it would work, just they wouldn’t be crispy. Good luck and let me know how they turn out!

    Soooooooo jealous of your being able to grill outside! I’m hoping for an exciting game too, but at least if all else fails, there’s the football food 🙂

      Ha ha… I know most people get mad when they see we grill all year round. One of the perks of living in Florida! Woohoo to football food!
