Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, orange zest, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Mix thoroughly to ensure each wing is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for maximum flavor, marinate overnight.
Remove the wings from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
While the wings bake, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Once the wings are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oven and brush them with the thickened marinade for a glossy finish.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful Roasted Citrus Soy Chicken Wings!
