Baked Chicken Wings

How to make baked chicken wings .

At home we are trying different recipes with chicken wings , almost always when I prepare them in the oven they are with barbecue sauce .

This time I have made them in a different way, accompanying the classic maceration that I always do with a soy, honey and lemon sauce. 

It combines very well the citrus flavor of the lemon with the sweet touch of honey and caramelized soy. They do not have much fat and are very golden, with a dark touch (not burned) of the color that soy gives.

Preparation of the chicken. Macerated

1. When you buy wings, it is normal to get them whole, that is: wing, tip and thigh.
2. At home we like the tips, but if you don’t like them you just have to cut them and separate them from the rest, with your hand you dislocate the bone and with a knife you separate it, it takes less than 5 seconds.
3. We place them free of hairs in a source and season with salt and pepper. Peel a clove of garlic (or 2 if you like its flavor) and chop it very small. If you have a much better garlic crusher, this will combine the pasta much better with the rest of the ingredients.
4. Add the ground oregano, a sprig of thyme and another of rosemary. If you like the spicy touch, it would be time to add the cayenne or chilli to the wings.
5. We combine all the flavors with a spoon or with the same hands and let it marinate for at least half an hour.

Baking the wings with honey, soy and lemon

1. We preheat the oven to 220º C, with heat above and below and air.
2. With the dressing that we have made to the wings it would be enough to go to the oven and they would be very good. But with the sauce that we are going to prepare now we will give them much more flavor.
3. It is time to prepare the mixture with which we are going to spread them. We combine the soy sauce, honey and lemon juice in a glass jar.
4. We close well and shake to put the ingredients together, the mixture should be homogeneous.
5. We place the wings on a large tray and  spread the top very well with our concoction, use a brush or brush.
6. We leave a little sauce to spread them in the middle of baking when we turn them over.
7. We put them in the oven at 180 ° C and let them roast for 30 minutes in the middle tray with top-down heat and hot air.
8. Halfway through the baking we turn them over with a fork and varnish again with the sauce that we have reserved, so they will be golden on both sides.

Tips for some fluffy wings

• This dish is much less fat than fried chicken wings, but don’t trust it. The skin of the wings still has fat.
• The same procedure applies to other parts of the chicken (thighs, breasts …). Although depending on the size they will take more time in the oven to make.
• If the wings have traces of feathers, the most effective is to use a torch or lighter to burn them and thus easily remove them.
