Ingredients
For the wings:
- 1 kg chicken wings cleaned and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
For the sauce:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the wings
- Start by patting the chicken wings dry using paper towels. This step is important because it helps the wings crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Place the wings in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated.
Step 2: Arrange for baking
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the wings in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 3: Bake the wings
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the wings for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 4: Prepare the sauce
- While the wings are baking, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, honey, ketchup, and vinegar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
Step 5: Coat the wings
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and toss until every piece is well coated.
Step 6: Final touch
- You can return the coated wings to the oven for 5–7 minutes for a slightly caramelized finish.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
