A twist on the classic chicken wing dish by giving it a delicious Chinese flavor. These Chinese-style chicken wings are crispy, savory, and flavorful in every bite. The secret lies in the marinade, which consists of a blend of traditional Chinese ingredients such as five-spice powder, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Whether you're a spicy or sweet fan, these wings will satisfy your cravings. So, let's get started!
In a large zip lock bag, combine the marinade ingredients with ⅓ cup honey. Add the chicken 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 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 the Chicken Wings on the baking rack without overlapping them. Brush a generous amount of honey on the bottom side of the 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 honey again. Cook for another 25 minutes or until the Chicken Wings 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).
Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve hot as an appetizer.
Enjoy!
