Charcoal-grilled chicken wings with a secret 20-ingredient marinade at East Coast Lagoon Food Village.
Ah Hwee BBQ Chicken Wings and Spring Chicken is a beloved hawker stall at East Coast Lagoon Food Village that has been perfecting the art of charcoal-grilled chicken since 1979. Founded by Mr. Teng Eng Hwa, the stall has built its reputation on beautifully grilled chicken wings marinated in a secret blend of up to twenty ingredients including ginger, five-spice powder, maltose syrup, and Shaoxing cooking wine. The result is a wing with paper-crisp skin and juicy, flavourful meat. The chicken wings are grilled low and slow on an innovative multi-tiered charcoal rack, developing a smoky char and a glossy sheen that signals quality with every piece. Spring chicken is also available for those wanting a heartier portion. Each serving comes with a lime wedge and a tangy chilli and lime dipping sauce that adds a citrusy zing. The wings are sold by the piece, making it easy to order exactly the amount you crave. For some of the best charcoal-grilled chicken wings on the east coast, Ah Hwee is a must-visit. Grab a few wings, squeeze on some lime, and experience a hawker classic done right.

Highly recommended! The auntie were friendly, you can see everyone took pride in their work. The stall was clean despite the bbq environment 👍🏾 Long long q, but it's worth the wait. Fragrant, Crispy, Fresh, and tender juicy chicken wings! Well marinated and sibei gaolat bbq technique. The wings are smaller in size compared to many others. Probably this is the secret for its delightful taste. Haha Chili was fantastic as well! Cheers!

Tried theirs and Chong Pang Huat. Prefer Ah Hwee's as its juicy and the skin is thin and crispy(?) with a good after taste. Chong Pang's is a bit too sweet for my liking and soft skin like braised because …

$1.40 per pcs now. Well its really grill from charcoal but the meat from the wing is really dried and hard. Although skin crispy on the outside from the grill fire but result in dried up the whole wing. Is it because rushing the order so fire too big? Kinda disappointed .
Aisyah
Perfectly BBQ/grilled crispy skin with a little juicy inside. Properly arranged for serving and comes with the perfect matched chili sauce. One star less for seasoning as the taste is slightly below my expectations.Chicken wing is slight smaller size.
