Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings or pieces (drumsticks, thighs, or drumettes)
- 1 cup Catalina dressing
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Catalina dressing, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Step 3
Pat the chicken wings or pieces dry using paper towels, then place them in a large bowl.
Step 4
Pour about two-thirds of the Catalina mixture over the chicken, reserving the rest for basting. Toss the chicken until fully coated in the marinade.
Step 5
Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with aluminum foil. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven, flip each piece, and brush liberally with the reserved Catalina sauce.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and slightly caramelized.
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with rice, a side salad, or enjoy as-is!
