Drunken Chicken Wings Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• STEP 2.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and crispy.
• STEP 3.While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice wine, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• STEP 4.Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
• STEP 5.Serve the drunken chicken wings hot as an appetizer or as part of a main course. They pair well with steamed rice and a side of vegetables. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for a few minutes after baking.
• Make sure to flip the wings halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the saucepan.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover drunken chicken wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the wings, place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the wings as an appetizer at parties or game day gatherings. They are also great as a main course with steamed rice and vegetables.
