Every week we discover a product from a local maker and create a recipe inspired by it. This week, we're cooking with Bok Bok's A-Ma's Everything Sauce.
There's something special about walking through a farmers market and finding a product you've never tried before. Sometimes it's a loaf of bread. Sometimes it's a jar of fermented vegetables. And sometimes it's a sauce that instantly makes you start imagining dinner.
This week we picked up Bok Bok A-Ma's Everything Sauce, a sweet, savory, and spicy sauce inspired by Thai family recipes. It's the kind of pantry staple that can turn simple ingredients into something memorable.
For our first recipe, we kept it simple: ultra-crispy chicken wings glazed with warm A-Ma sauce.

Crispy Thai Wings with Warm A-Ma Glaze
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Servings: 3–4
Ingredients
Wings
- 2 pounds or 900g chicken wings, separated into flats and drums
- 1 tablespoon or 12g aluminum-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon or 3g kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon or 1g freshly cracked black pepper
Glaze
- ¾ cup or 180g Bok Bok A-Ma's Everything Sauce
- 1 tablespoon or 15g soy sauce (or fish sauce for extra umami)
- 1 tablespoon or 15g fresh lime juice
Garnish
- Fresh cilantro
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Sliced scallions
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Wings
Pat the wings completely dry using paper towels. Dry skin is the key to achieving crispy wings.
In a large bowl, toss the wings with the baking powder, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2: Air Fry
Arrange the wings in a single layer in your air fryer basket.
Cook at 380°F for 15 minutes.
Flip the wings and increase the temperature to 400°F.
Cook for another 5–8 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp.
Oven Method
Bake on a wire rack over a sheet pan at 425°F for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 3: Warm the Glaze
While the wings cook, combine:
- Bok Bok A-Ma's Everything Sauce
- Soy sauce (or fish sauce)
- Lime juice
Warm gently in a small saucepan over low heat for about 2 minutes until glossy.
Step 4: Toss
Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl.
Pour the warm glaze over the wings and toss immediately until every wing is coated.
Step 5: Finish
Top with:
- Fresh cilantro
- Sesame seeds
- Scallions
Serve immediately with extra A-Ma sauce on the side.

Chef's Tip:
Warm the sauce instead of pouring it straight from the refrigerator. A warm glaze coats crispy wings much more evenly and helps create that sticky restaurant-style finish.
