Ingredients for roasted chicken wings
There are two components in this crispy oven baked chicken wings recipe. Chicken wings and sticky sauce. For the latter we will need:
Oil - Use vegetable oil, like canola. It's great for high-temperature roasting, and it's not overpowering.
Honey - Use real honey, floral, or acacia honey. They both have a subtle aroma and complement the dish beautifully.
Garlic - Adds a beautiful sharpness and flavor to the sauce.
Prunes - Use pitted prunes. They add an umami flavor and sweet, fruity flavor, and they thicken the sauce too.
Soy sauce - Light soy sauce is the way to go for this recipe. It's not as intense as dark soy sauce. However, if you have a dark soy sauce at home, simply reduce it with some water and use it in the recipe.
Vinegar - Use white wine vinegar or rice vinegar. The vinegar will create a subtle sweet-sour flavor that will complement all the other ingredients beautifully.
Sesame - Before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds for some texture.

METHOD
-
prepare the meat
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven, then preheat your oven to 230 °C / 450 °F. Use a fan-assisted oven if possible. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat-dry the chicken wings on both sides. Place the chicken in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with canola oil, and toss well to coat evenly.
-
roast the chicken wings
Spread the chicken wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack. Roast for 20 minutes at 230 °C / 450 °F.
-
sticky sauce
While the chicken wings are roasting, make the sticky sauce. Add canola oil to a saucepan. Place over medium heat. Add the diced garlic, chopped prunes, light soy sauce, vinegar, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a blender or immersion blender and mix into a smooth sauce.

Oven Roasted Sticky Chicken Wings
Wearing protective gloves, carefully remove the baking sheet with the chicken wings from the oven. Pour the fat from the baking sheet and discard it. Place the wire rack on the top position in the oven while still wearing protective gloves. Change oven settings to low broil. Generously brush the chicken with the sticky sauce on both sides and return to the oven. Roast for 5 minutes on the top rack. Remove from the oven and brush with the rest of the sticky sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve. Optionally serve with chopped scallions.
