Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice + zest from the orange
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes omit to reduce heat
- 1/2 tablespoon ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
- Combine the chicken wings and olive oil together in a bowl and toss to coat. Spread the wings on the baking sheet.
- Bake the wings for 30 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking.
- Meanwhile, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, honey, chili flakes, and ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
- Combine the cornstarch and water in a bowl and pour into the sauce. Raise the heat to medium high to lightly boil the sauce until it’s thickened to a syrupy consistency.
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, baste the chicken wings on both sides with some of the sauce.
- When the chicken wings reach 165° F internal temperature, take them out of the oven. Toss the wings with the remaining sauce and serve hot.
