Deboning a chicken wing with a kitchen scissor
Deboning a chicken wing with kitchen scissor is the safer route. I prefer this way so I don’t cut myself. It’s also a little bit fast for me since I can cut through the inside easier than using a knife. Just make sure you use a fairly sharp kitchen scissor that can cut through meat.

Fill & BakeĀ
I personally like to bake my stuffed chicken wing. You can air fry, deep fry, bbq grill them. It’ll all work as long as the center is cooked.Ā I like to cook it in the oven since they come out a little bit prettier š
Don’t mind the dark spots! I like mine fairly crispy and on the darker side. Cook to your desire crispness š The dark soy sauce also helps with caramelizing the skin a bit too.

CHICKEN WING
- Debone the chicken wings. Watch the video to see how it's done. Either use a knife or kitchen scissor to debone.
- Marinade the boneless chicken wings. While it's marinading do the filling
- Make sure to soak any dried items you're using (white fungus and bean thread noodles). Rinse them well and chop them for easier mixing and filling. Then add everything for the filling in a bowl and mix well.
- Stuff the chicken wings until it is slightly pack. Don't fill it too much or else they will burst while cooking since they do expand when they cook.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with foil and a cooking rack.
- Cook in preheated 400' F oven for 30 minutes. Rotate to the other side, and cook for another 20 minutes or so or until it reaches your desire crispness. For a darker/crisper skin, you can set your oven to broil @450'F for 3-4 minutes or just until it reaches your desire crispness/color.
- Once cooked, let it cool for 5 minutes before consuming
- Eat with rice or by itself with the sweet chili dipping sauce or Hmong pepper dip š
Notes
You can add peanuts/cilantro into the sweet chili sauce it you desire. It takes practice to debone a chicken wing so keep on practicing š If you don't want to make the sweet chili sauce.... Feel free to buy pre-made ones š

Five stars! This is my favorite treat at the Hmong Marketplace and Hmong Village in St. Paul and Iām thrilled to find the authentic recipe here. Iāve stuffed chicken wings a couple of times before with different recipes, so I knew what kind of time commitment I was in for. Now that Iāve found this recipe, Iāll make them much more often and hopefully Iāll become more skillful (and quicker) deboning the chicken wings. I even bought a new $5 pair of small kitchen scissors for the detail work of deboning. I found that when the scissors are closed, the non-sharp edge of the blade can help with scraping down the bone.
I love these served with classic Hmong pepper dip. Thanks again!
how long do you marinade the wings fo
You can marinade it for an hr or two. Overnight is fine too. But if you don’t have the time, just 30 minutes will be okay too.
Can these be stuffed and frozen and cooked later?
I think so! I haven’t tried it personally but I think they can.
Could I cook these over a BBQ grill?
Yes but they will stick to the grill.
