Made with only a few ingredients, these simple honey oyster sauce chicken wings are baked in the oven and taste delicious without requiring extra time for marinating.
3poundschicken wings (about 15 full wings or 30 separated wings)separated at the joint and dried with paper towel
½cupoyster sauce
¼cupliquid honey
4teaspoonsDijon mustard
1teaspoonsesame oilor vegetable oil
¼teaspoonground black pepper
few dropshot sauce(optional)
sesame seeds and/or chopped green onions for garnish(optional)
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
(Optional) Line the baking sheet with foil and put a wire rack on top.
Make the wing sauce by combining oyster sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, sesame oil, pepper and hot sauce in a bowl.
Spread the wings out on the baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the sauce over this side of the wings.
Turn the wings over (skin side up) and brush on the remaining oyster sauce mixture.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Be careful not to leave them in too much longer than this because the honey will start to burn.
Broil for 2 to 3 minutes to make the skin a little crispier. Watch closely while doing this to make sure they don't burn.
If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Lining the baking sheet with foil makes it easier to clean.
Baking wings on a wire rack helps them to turn out crispier.
If you prefer, mix the glaze in a large bowl and then toss the wings in the sauce rather than brushing it on.
While most wings can be cooked at 400°F to decrease the cooking time and make the skin crispier, don't try that with these wings. The higher temperature will cause the honey to burn.
