My family loves chicken wings so I’m always experimenting with new flavours. These Thai-inspired Tom Yum chicken wings is the latest creation and they were very well-received on our dinner table. The marinade is really easy to make as I am using instant tom yum paste as the base. They are also cooked the fuss-free way, entirely in the oven. You can tweak the marinade sauce to your liking – for example, even though there is no chilli in this recipe, you can add it for that extra heat.

(Serves 2)
- 5 chicken wings (about 400 grams)(A) Tom Yum marinade
- 1/2 stalk lemongrass (only the white part), finely snipped
- 1 kaffir lime leaf, finely snipped
- 5 shallots, peeled and sliced
- 1 heaped tbsp instant tom yum paste
- 1/2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp cooking oil
1. Using kitchen scissors, cut chicken wing to 3 portions at the joint (drummette, mid joint and end tip). Freeze the end tips for making chicken stock. Pat dry with paper towels. Tip: For easy cleaning and quick drying, opt for the detachable kitchen scissors.
2. Cut lemongrass stalk and kaffir lime leaf (rolled up like a cigar) to thin snips. Add (A) to food processor and blend until the paste is smooth.
3. Coat chicken evenly in the tom yum paste. Chill marinated chicken, covered, in fridge, for at least half an hour.
4. Arrange chicken pieces on wire rack with foil-lined tray beneath. Bake at preheated oven of 200°C (392°F) for 25 minutes, turning once halfway. Garnish and serve.

I think almost all of us would love to indulge in this delicious yummy Grilled Tom Yum Chicken Wings!!
There is Hainanese “scissor-cut” rice, now there is “scissor-cut” (literally) chicken wings :P Cool!
Oh wow! Looks incredible – I just made some honey baked wings yesterday! Love em chicken wings.
Delicious! Fragrant and sourish at the same time!
Mmmm….these look so tempting. I would so enjoy eating these in front of the tv :D
It’s nice n easy to prepare. Just love this type of recipe.
Love the flavour in these chicken wings.
Just discovered this website a couple of weeks back and I have already tried 4 recipes (aglio olio, scrambled eggs, ABC soup and beef stew) This website is re-igniting my love for cooking. Definitely going to try and make the Tom yum chix wings. Keep up the great work!
The marinade sounds delicious. And, I love that they’re cooked in the oven. So much less mess that stovetop cooking!
Wiffy, these wings looks so yummy! Can you share the purpose of chilling the wings? Michelle
Hi Michelle, the reason is that some people may like to marinade longer, even overnight, hence recommended to put in fridge in case of spoilage.
Oh I see! Thanks Wiffy! Michelle
Besides chicken wing, what other meat can we use?
You can use chicken leg/thigh but the cooking time will be slightly longer as the pieces will be bigger.
I’m loving simple chicken wing recipes from your site. This is something we might make for our CNY gathering :-). Thanks for the inspiration.
