Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Mix well to create a smooth glaze.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the glaze.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave a little space between each wing to allow for even cooking.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. The glaze will thicken as it cools, creating a sticky and flavorful coating on the wings.
- Serve the Baked Brown Sugar Wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for some extra flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy!
