Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings or pieces (drumsticks, thighs, or drumettes)
- 1 cup Catalina dressing
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Catalina dressing, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Pat the chicken wings or pieces dry using paper towels, then place them in a large bowl.
Pour about two-thirds of the Catalina mixture over the chicken, reserving the rest for basting. Toss the chicken until fully coated in the marinade.
Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with aluminum foil. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oven, flip each piece, and brush liberally with the reserved Catalina sauce.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and slightly caramelized.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with rice, a side salad, or enjoy as-is!
