Time 50m

Yield 8 wings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 chicken wings
1/2 tablespoon honey
2 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (substitute with barbeque sauce if not available)
3 tablespoons soy sauce or 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt (one or two pinches)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
3 -4 scallions, minced

Steps:

Mix mix the hoisin sauce, honey, soy/Chinese teriyaki sauce, salt, black pepper, ginger, garlic and scallion together. Marinate the chicken wings in this mixture for 15 minutes.
Heat oven to 350°F Put the chicken wings onto skewers, two per skewer, and put on a baking tray or cookie sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, basting occasionally with the marinade.
Change oven setting to "broil" and broil for 5-8 minutes, changing sides and basting occasionally to prevent the chicken from burning.
Take out from the oven; remove from the skewers and serve.
Tip: Skewers aren't necessary, I just use skewers because basting is easier and there's lesser chances of the chicken skin getting stuck to the tin foil on the baking tray or cookie sheet.
Suggestion: I put in a tiny bit of extra-hot pepper paste when I make this for my boyfriend because he likes doesn't like anything too sweet. In case you don't have that, just increase the black pepper or use cayenne pepper instead.
