Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (1kg) chicken wings tips removed, drumettes and middle sections separated
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt
- black Pepper
Orange Sauce:
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce Rooster brand Huy Fong, optional
- 3 tablespoons chicken broth or water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 5 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or red wine or Chinese white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry, optional
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (207°C). Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer the wings to a large bowl and toss with the oil, along with some salt and black pepper. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, then place a baking rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
- Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the wings are fully cooked and crispy, about 45 to 50 minutes. Be sure to check on them regularly.
- Mix all the ingredients for the Orange Sauce in a saucepan. Heat until it thickens and begins to bubble. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- When the wings are done, remove them from the oven and add them to the orange sauce. Toss a few times to coat well.
- Drizzle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro over the chicken wings. Serve immediately.
