Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and place them in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows them to cook and crisp up evenly.

Step 4

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the saucepan while stirring continuously, ensuring no lumps form. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm orange glaze over the wings, tossing gently to ensure each wing is evenly coated.

Step 8

For a caramelized effect, you can return the glazed wings to the oven and broil them on high for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 9

Serve the wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped scallions if desired. Enjoy your Simply Yummy Orange Glazed Chicken Wings!
