Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and coat them with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the vegetable oil and toss to coat.

Place the wings and flour in a large, food-safe plastic bag; hold it tightly closed and shake until the wings are fully coated with no wet spots remaining. Move the wings to the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not touch each other. Spray the wings with cooking spray.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; flip the wings. Continue baking until the wings are crispy and no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more.

Whisk the rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste, and soy sauce together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, then remove from the heat immediately.

Using tongs, toss 1/2 the wings with 1/2 the glaze in a large bowl until evenly coated; transfer to a serving platter. Let sit for about 5 minutes to allow the glaze to soak into the wings before serving. Repeat with the remaining wings and glaze.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
