Hoisin Chicken Wings

This is a great alternative to the usual game day fare. My husband actually made these wings as a part of our Super Bowl spread! They are quick and full of wonderful sweet-savory flavor.

2.5 lbs of chicken wingettes

2 T hoisin sauce

2 T good soy sauce

4 T honey

1 t sriracha

1 t sesame oil

2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely

3/4 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

1 finely sliced scallion, green parts only

salt

freshly ground pepper

Pre-heat oven to 450 F and make sure that there is a rack in the upper 1/3 of your oven.

Season the wings with salt and pepper.

In a separate, large bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sriracha (use more sriracha if you prefer spicier wings), sesame oil, and garlic.

Add the wings to the sauce and mix to coat (clean hands are the easiest tool for this job). If you have time, let the wings marinate for 30 minutes. If not, go ahead and place the wings in a single layer on a baking pan lined with foil.

Bake for 35 minutes, turning once midway through. You want the wings to be nicely browned all over with some yummy crispy bits at the ends.

Garnish with finely sliced scallions.

Enjoy!
