    Asian Zing Sauce Recipe

    This was inspired by my other copycat Buffalo Wild Wings sauce recipe on this site and pairs well with this amazing broiled chicken wing recipe.

    Ingredients

    It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this sauce. You'll find them all easily at your local grocery store.

    • Cornstarch
    • Rice wine vinegar
    • Corn syrup
    • Chili garlic sauce
    • Soy sauce
    • Freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • Ground ginger
    • Garlic powder
    • Sugar
    • Salt

    See the recipe card at the end of the post for quantities.

    Instructions

    Making this recipe is just as simple as the ingredient list. It only takes one step!

    Step 1: Make the Sauce

    Add the cornstarch to a large bowl. Then, add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and whisk thoroughly until combined.

    Hint: A whisk is a much better option for this recipe than a spoon. The cornstarch needs to be really mixed well with the other ingredients.
