Ingredients

  • 1 family pkg. chicken wings
  • 3 large cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 Tbsp. ground ginger root
  • 1/2 onion, chopped fine
  • 1 tsp. sesame seed
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together and marinate the wings for 24 hours.
  2. Preheat oven and spray baking pan with Pam.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared pan.
  4. Bake at 350°F for 1 1/2 hours, turning once during cooking.

Tips & Substitutions

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of sriracha or chili flakes to the marinade for some heat. If you don't have red wine, a dry white wine can work as a substitute. For a quicker marinade, try cutting the wings into smaller pieces to allow them to soak up the flavors more effectively. Ensure to turn the wings halfway through cooking for even browning.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these delicious wings with a side of crunchy celery and carrot sticks, along with a creamy blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping. They pair beautifully with Jumbalaija for a complete meal. You can also serve them alongside a fresh salad or rice for a hearty dinner.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through and crispy. Alternatively, you can microwave them, but be aware that this may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings, but it's best to thaw them first for the marinade to penetrate effectively. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave before marinating.

How can I make these wings spicier?

To increase the heat, you can add hot sauce to the marinade or use a spicy soy sauce. Additionally, incorporating fresh jalapeños or red pepper flakes will elevate the spice level to your liking.

Can I grill these wings instead of baking them?

Absolutely! After marinating, you can grill the wings on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, turning frequently, until they are cooked through and have a nice char. This method adds a smoky flavor that complements the marinade well.
