Mahogany Chicken Wings
Mahogany Chicken Wings are just plain irresistible, these yummy little guys are glazed to a deep burnished brown and the meat is melt-in-your-mouth tender. Just be sure to make lots --- they go fast!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken wings
- 1 lb chicken drumettes
marinade/glaze
- 1/2 cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1/3 cup (heaping) hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup plum sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp honey
garnish
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Set oven to 375F
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together. Take a taste to see if you'd like to alter any of the proportions.
- Put the wings and drumettes in a large dish, bowl, or zip lock baggie and cover them with the sauce. Make sure all the chicken is covered with the sauce, and then put in the refrigerator to marinate for anywhere from 6 to 48 hours.
- Line a baking pan with parchment or foil. Shake the excess sauce off the chicken and arrange in a single layer on the pan. Put in the oven and set timer for one hour.
- While the chicken is cooking put the sauce in a pan on the stove and bring it to a boil. Boil for about 20 minutes, until reduced and thick.
- Baste the chicken with the sauce every 10-15 minutes. You don't have to wait until the sauce has thickened to do the basting. (The chicken may be done in under an hour)
- Serve the chicken garnished with the scallions, along with the thickened glaze on the side.
Notes
- Kikkoman makes several different types of soy sauce to fit special dietary needs --- Low Sodium, Gluten Free, and Tamari are all great choices.
- Don't attempt to make this without lining your pan, the sauce really sticks.
- In our experience, these wings disappeared very quickly, and we wished we had made more than we did. The two pounds in this recipe left four of us hungering for more. Allow at least 1/2 pound per person, ideally more.
- More than one of us here had the same thought after our first taste test --- this would be great using larger pieces of chicken, too, like legs, or thighs.
