Description
Forget frying chicken wings! These baked wings are not only packed full of flavor, they fall of the bone as well. Did I mention, they are like meat candy? Yes, I said it. A crisp exterior and a moist interior make these the perfect wings.
Ingredients
- ½ cups Soy Sauce
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, Lightly Packed
- 10 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 40 whole Chicken Wing Pieces (wings And Drummies), Cleaned And Patted Dry
Preparation
You can tell by my picture that I like to leave the wing tip on. Some people chop that off, but me, I personally like that part, as do others.
Begin by mixing all ingredients, excluding the chicken, in a mixing bowl. Mix until your sugar gets as best dissolved as it can. Add the chicken into a large, sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and move that marinade throughout all of the chicken pieces. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use 2 baking sheets if you have to. Place the chicken onto the baking sheet, and place in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Turn once after around 1 hour. After 1 1/2 hours, turn off the oven, and let them sit in there for another 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and plate.
I plated these for the party, then went back to the kitchen to finish up some shrimp egg rolls. I returned minutes later to nothing but a bowl of bones!
These chicken wings do end up with a bit of a caramelized exterior which provides a nice crunch, but shortly after, they just fall off the bone. Sweet and garlicky with a candy-like texture is how I can describe them, and when they disappear within minutes, well, you know they are good. Hope you enjoy.
