Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water (to mix with cornstarch)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them become crispy. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the saucepan, whisking constantly. Let the glaze simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm orange glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
