Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, salt, and vegetable oil.
- Place the chicken wings in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and toss the wings to ensure they are evenly coated. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help to elevate the wings and allow them to cook evenly.
- Remove the wings from the marinade and place them on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy. You can flip them halfway through for even browning.
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their crispy texture.
- Serve the Mom's Baked Chicken Wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
