Oven baked chicken wings

 


Have you ever tasted the grilled chicken wings from the night food market? Can you picture the air filled with the aroma of grilled chicken wings? Who does not like finger licking good chicken wings? You may bake it or grill it using the same recipe. For today, set aside your thoughts about grilling. Instead, let's go for the easy method to bake it. 

You may bake in an air fryer as well if you are making a small batch. I always bake in a big batch, so baking in an oven is my wise choice.




These easy-to-make BBQ baked chicken wings are flavorful and soft. Marinating the chicken is an essential step in creating mouthwatering baked chicken wings.  The chicken was softer because of the marinating. It is a process that is done for 30 to 45 minutes before baking the meat, or preferably overnight. Through this process, the chicken will become moist and flavorful as it absorbs the marinade.

I'm not marinating with store-bought barbecue sauce. Chinese cuisine marinades are what I typically use to marinade my chicken wings. The wings' caramel-skinned appearance after baking makes them incredibly appealing.


The trick to getting sauce sticking on meat is to bast the sauce on after the meat has cooked through most of the way. To ensure the surface is going to be done releasing moisture and have sufficient texture to allow the sauce to stick. Bast the sauce before the last 10 to 20 minutes of cooking.

You'll be hooked by these oven-baked barbecue chicken wings! They are so addictive that after you take that first delicious taste, you won't be able to stop!


 INGREDIENTS

15 pcs chicken wings, cut at the joint

5-6 pcs red shallots, minced

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

½ tbsp white / black pepper

½ tbsp sesame oil

½ tbsp salt

120g sugar

Some butter to grease the baking pan

 


METHOD

1. For the rub, combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix it until sugar melts. Rub it all over the wings, let the wings marinate for 30 to 45 minutes, best leave it overnight.

2. Lining a tin foil on the baking sheet, grease the foil with butter to avoid the wings from sticking.

3. Preheat the oven at 220°C, lay the wings out evenly on a baking sheet, bake the wings for 45 minutes. Reserve the marinade.

4. Using a fine mesh strainer, remove the marinade's minced shallots and garlic. After bringing it to a boil and tasting the gravy, reduce it further to concentrate the flavour if it's too thin. If you want the gravy to be thicker, you can stir in some slurry. You can add a small amount of dark soy sauce to the gravy to make it look darker.

5. Flip the wings over every 10-15 minutes and baste with the marinade sauce.

6. Bring the baking tray to a higher rack to bake for the last 5 minutes to allow caramel appearance. (keep close eyes on the wings to avoid over burning) Once the wings have gotten a light char on each side, remove them from the oven, squeeze some calamansi juice on top of the wings before serving.

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Easy Apple Tart With Almond Cream

This apple tarts made with frangipane or almond cream, and apples. It’s delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, delicious. The combination of apples, almonds, and cinnamon creates a warm and delightful dessert. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. The tart itself is buttery and crunchy. It is simple to make, and you don’t need a food processor or hand mixer. The key is that the butter is COLD. I cut it into small cubes and keep it in a freezer for 10 minutes which is much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. The almond cream or Frangipane is simple to prepare, and you can make it a day ahead with only a few ingredients. Spread the almond cream over the prebaked pie crust which adds a wonderful flavor, but it also acts as a shield to prevent the apple juices from penetrating into the crust. I am using a 24cm round and removable pie try or tart pan for making this apple tart. It is one of the staple pieces of equipment in my kitc...

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...
