Honey-Ginger Baked Chicken Wings

Wheat and 2 other allergens identified

Instructions

1
|
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
2
|
Place the honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Use the edge of a spoon to scrape the outer skin from the ginger root and discard. Grate the flesh of the ginger into the mixing bowl. Whisk the honey ginger mixture to thoroughly combine.
3
|
Place the chicken wings in the mixing bowl. Using a rubber spatula, toss the chicken wings to evenly coat in the honey-garlic glaze.
4
|
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 1-12 hours.
5
|
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Remove the marinated chicken wings from the refrigerator.
6
|
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Cover the rack with another sheet of foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Use a knife to poke holes all over the foil.
7
|
Use a pair of kitchen tongs to lift each chicken wing from the bowl, allowing the excess marinade to drip off, and transfer to the foil-covered wire rack. Do not discard the leftover marinade.
8
|
Bake the chicken wings on middle rack of oven until browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes.
9
|
Pour the leftover marinade into a small skillet set over medium heat. Bring the marinade to a boil, whisking constantly.
10
|
Boil the marinade, whisking occasionally, until it is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. The marinade will thicken slightly as it cools.
11
|
Check to see that chicken wings are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
12
|
Brush the tops of the chicken wings with the reduced marinade. Transfer the chicken wings to a plate and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Ginger Grating Hack 🥄
    Freeze fresh ginger root before grating to make it easier to create fine, uniform shreds without fibrous strings.
  • Marinade Magic 🍯
    For maximum flavor penetration, use a large resealable plastic bag for marinating, which ensures even coating and easy cleanup.
  • Crispy Wing Technique 🔥
    Pat chicken wings completely dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy exterior, and use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air circulation.
  • Sauce Reduction Trick 🥢
    Brush wings with honey-ginger sauce multiple times during baking to create layers of caramelization and intensify flavor.
  • Wing Prep Pro Tip 🍗
    If possible, let marinated wings sit uncovered in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before baking to help the skin dry out and become extra crispy.
