Indonesian Chicken Wings
You won’t be mad how much of a finger-sticking mess you’ll find yourself in with my to-die-for Indonesian chicken wings. Sweet, salty and totally addictive. Learn the super simple recipe for yourself…
These Indonesian chicken wings just got better the more I ate – and I ate them ALL. I almost didn’t want them to end. There’s something so rewarding about finding a bit of chicken hidden on a wing, it’s like winning a minor prize at the lottery! This is the perfect Indonesian chicken!
Finger licking good – sorry I had to say it.
These sticky, ribs are such a breath of fresh air to run of the mill American buffalo wings! Don’t get me wrong, I can still enjoy a bowl of those for breakfast, but OH BOY, these sweet, salty gooey morsels are another level.
I can’t get enough Indonesian food in my life they have all the naughtiest food in South East Asia including one of my favourite curries, period – Beef Rendang (check that out people – for reals). They make an unbelievable fried chicken (still not been able to come close to that at home) and my other personal favourite – chicken satay! I won’t allow myself to make this for greedy reasons. I could drink homemade satay sauce like coffee. These wings are at the top too…
Making these ribs at home really is simple. There are not a massive amount of ingredients, no marinating and it’s pretty much just put everything in a pan and wait for 30 minutes. If you can wait THAT long, then that’s pretty much all you need to worry about.
Messy ribs – the only kind of ribs you want to mess with
If you don’t resemble a meal-time toddler by the time you’ve finished these ribs, you’re not eating them properly. The sticky, tangy, salty, sweet sauce clings to everything it touches. My bears is always a write off afterwards and I have to fully wash my face every time. It’s worth it though!
Indonesian Chicken Wings – get your game on!
I’m always looking for authentic Indonesian chicken recipes to share with my friends and family, and these sticky, spiced treats are legit Indo wings to take along on sports screening days. They’re always a winner! Not that I watch the sport, I just eat the chicken – mostly all of it. Perfect for THE Game, hot or cold, or just perfect for the eating game when you’re home alone and don’t have anyone staring at you at your primal worst.

Well, I tried inviting a few people over for lunch but as they were all busy and I had already bought everything… They were absolutely delicious.
There hasn’t been a recipe I’ve followed here that hasn’t been utterly delicious. I used what’s left of my Berbere mix to make that Ethiopian dish again.
Keep up the awesome work :)
;)
If I remember rightly, that’s exactly how I felt.
I think the recipe would safely fill up two people, but if there’s a plate of food in front of me, I see it as some kind of human challenge to finish.
Did you enjoy?
Thanks for following and cooking so many of my recipes. I’m thinking of making something Indonesian tonight so keep your eyes peeled in the next week or so for the recipe.
No probs.. I figured it was mixed.. It just didn’t seem like much when I was at the chook shop. After only just being able to finish the last one, I decided it WAS enough :)
Together. I’ve amended it to make it clearer.
Thanks… again.
: )
Is this 700g of BOTH wings and drums or 700 together?
