Crispy Baked Ginger-Soy Chicken Wings

Adapted from Bon Appetit

Yield: 6 servings

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes


Ingredients

Chicken
2 to 3 lbs chicken wings, tips removed, drummettes and wings separated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
14 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  
Ginger-soy glaze
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
2 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup water


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with foil and a wire rack.

In a large bowl, place the chicken wings, oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat.

Spread wings out in a single layer and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy.

While the wings are baking, add the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir constantly to dissolve honey.

Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally until the mixture is reduced to ¼ cup, about 7 to 8 minutes.

Strain into a medium bowl and let sit for 15 minutes to thicken slightly and cool.

Toss the wings in the bowl with the prepared sauce and serve immediately.


Notes

Sauce can prepared 5 days in advance; cover and chill to store and warm before using.
