Whether you’re hosting a game day party, a casual family dinner, or just craving some finger-licking goodness, these wings will deliver.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delectable wings:

• 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup oyster sauce
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (or more, to taste)
• 3 green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Kitchen Tools

• Large mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Wire rack
• Aluminum foil
• Small saucepan
• Metal tongs
• Whisk

Directions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). This high temperature is key to achieving crispy chicken wings. While the oven is heating up, take a wire rack and coat it with nonstick spray before placing it on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. This setup will allow the hot air to circulate around the wings, ensuring even cooking and crispiness.

Step 2: Prep the Wings

Using paper towels, pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly. This step is essential because moisture can prevent the skin from crisping up. In a large bowl, combine the wings with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder. The baking powder helps to create that crispy texture we all crave.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

Place the seasoned wings onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through using metal tongs. This will help them cook evenly and develop a beautiful golden brown color.

Step 4: Make the Glaze

While the wings are baking, it’s the perfect time to prepare the sticky sauce. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the oyster sauce, ketchup, orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, honey, and chili garlic sauce. Stir the mixture constantly and bring it to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. This glaze is what truly sets these wings apart.

Step 5: Broil for the Finish

Once the wings have baked and are crisped to perfection, preheat your oven to broil. Line another baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, toss the wings with half of the prepared oyster sauce mixture. Spread them evenly on the new baking sheet and broil for about 3-5 minutes, turning them once. You’re aiming for a glossy, caramelized finish.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

After broiling, toss the wings with the remaining oyster sauce mixture for an extra layer of flavor. Serve them immediately, garnished with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for a delightful crunch and a pop of color.

Tips for Success

• Crispier Wings: For even crispier wings, you can leave them uncovered in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or overnight) after patting them dry. This will help to dry out the skin further.
• Adjust the Spice: If you like your wings on the spicier side, feel free to add more chili garlic sauce to the glaze.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair these wings with a side of pickled vegetables or cucumber salad to balance the flavors.

Conclusion
