- 2 lbs (1kg) chicken wings (tips removed, drumettes and middle sections separated)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt
- black Pepper
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce (Rooster brand Huy Fong, optional)
- 3 tablespoons chicken broth (or water)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 5 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or red wine or Chinese white vinegar)
- 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry, optional)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (207°C). Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer the wings to a large bowl and toss with the oil, along with some salt and black pepper. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, then place a baking rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the wings are fully cooked and crispy, about 45 to 50 minutes. Be sure to check on them regularly.
Mix all the ingredients for the Orange Sauce in a saucepan. Heat until it thickens and begins to bubble. Turn off the heat and set aside.
When the wings are done, remove them from the oven and add them to the orange sauce. Toss a few times to coat well.
Drizzle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro over the chicken wings. Serve immediately.
