How to Make Chinese-Style Chicken Wings
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Combine the marinade ingredients with ⅓ cup honey in a large zip-lock bag. Add the wings. Massage a few times to disperse the marinade evenly. *(Try to squeeze as much air out as you can and seal the bag).
Let sit in the fridge for a least 2 hours, up to overnight. Flip and massage them a few times, the bag in between for even marinating. Preheat the oven to 450° degrees F (230° C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a baking rack on top. Place them on the baking rack without overlapping them. Brush a generous amount of honey on the bottom of the Chinese Style Chicken Wings.
Bake until the bottom side of the wings turns golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the wings and brush honey on top. Bake for another 10 minutes. Take out the baking tray and brush the honey again.
Cook for another 25 minutes or until they are cooked through golden brown and crispy. *(For a crisper wing, turn the oven to broil and broil until caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes).
Once finished, let the Chinese Style Chicken Wings cool for 5 minutes before serving them as a delicious appetizer.
So, whether you are looking for a flavorful main dish or a crowd-pleasing snack, these Healthy Grilled Chinese Chicken Wings will satisfy your taste buds."
