Caramelized Chicken Wings
These succulent chicken wings are glazed with a mouthwatering caramelized sauce that blends savory and sweet flavors beautifully. They are perfect as an appetizer or as a main dish alongside your favorite sides.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or if you have more time, refrigerate for a few hours to enhance the flavors.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Reserve some of the marinade for basting later.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Baste them with the reserved marinade during the last 10 minutes of baking to create that beautiful caramelized glaze.
- Once the wings are caramelized and cooked through, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh and colorful finish. Serve hot and enjoy!
