In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Chinese five spice, brown sugar, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, chopped green chili, and crushed red pepper.

Give a stir to combine the ingredients.

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them to coat in the marinade.

Cover the bowl and allow the wings to rest for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the wings down on it.

Bake the wings in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine rice wine vinegar, crushed red pepper, brown sugar, and chopped green chili to make the glaze.

Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture reaches a syrup-like consistency.

Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them directly into the saucepan with the glaze.

Give the wings a quick toss to coat them evenly in the glaze.

Pile the glazed wings on a plate and garnish with more chopped green chili and chopped green onion.
