Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken wings
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp five-spice powder
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 drop red food coloring (optional)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red food coloring (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to ensure they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip the wings over, baste them with any leftover marinade, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the wings are fully cooked and caramelized.
If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to achieve extra crispiness and charred bits on the wings. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy these irresistible char siu chicken wings!
