Ingredients
Ingredients
Chicken wings
3 lbs (tips removed and split at joint)
Soy sauce
1 cup
Water
2/3 cup
Brown sugar
1 cup
Dry mustard
2 tablespoons
Ground ginger or fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon (grated if using fresh)
Garlic cloves
3 cloves (minced)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Prepare the chicken wings by placing them in a large shallow baking pan, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
3
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, dry mustard, ginger, and minced garlic. Stir the mixture and bring it to a gentle boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the flavors to meld together.
4
Once the marinade is boiling, pour it evenly over the chicken wings in the pan, coating them thoroughly.
5
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, which allows the wings to absorb the marinade while staying tender.
6
After baking, carefully remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a jelly roll pan, or a baking sheet lined with foil for easier cleanup.
7
Increase the oven temperature to broil. Place the wings under the broiler, cooking until they are crispy and golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even browning (about 5-10 minutes).
8
Once crispy, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
