On a recent episode of The Chew, Daphne Oz and Mario Batali had a chicken wing cook-off, and after seeing Daphne’s ingredients (and that hers were baked), I had to try them right away. Needless to say, they did not disappoint. I love the fact that the marinade on these babies caramelize while baking, which makes them a bit crispy. Oh, and the dipping sauce… yummy!!! Since I’m a huge fan of anything sweet, the sauce was perfect for me, but if you’d like it with a little more twang, reduce the half cup of honey by a couple of tablespoons (1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons).
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 dozen chicken drumettes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 1 tbsp. sambal chili paste
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. grated ginger
Directions
- Combine all the ingredients for the drumettes in a bowl and toss the wings to coat.
- Place in the refrigerator and marinate a minimum of two hours and preferably over night.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove drumettes from the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and arrange the drumettes so they are not touching. Brush generously with the leftover marinade.
- Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until deep golden brown, rotating the tray half way through and flipping the wings over.
- While chicken is baking, combine all of the dipping ingredients and whisk together.
- Serve the drumettes with the dipping sauce.
