Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup brandy
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crisp.
While the wings are baking, prepare the brandy glaze. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brandy, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes (if using) to the saucepan. Stir to combine and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the baked chicken wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the brandy glaze over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
Return the glazed wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot. Enjoy!
