Christmas is fast approaching and these baked wings are perfect party picks – crisp on the outside, sweet n spicy, and juicy on the inside. Best served with chili sauce.

You need –

• Chicken wings – 6-7 nos (drumettes, wingette separated and remove the tips)

For the Marinade –

• Minced fresh ginger – 2 teaspoons
• Minced garlic – 1.5 tablespoons
• Hoisin Sauce – 2 teaspoons
• Chili sauce – 1.5 tablespoons
• Dark soy sauce – 2 teaspoons
• Sugar – 1 teaspoon
• Dried chili flakes – 1 teaspoon or to taste

How to –

Wash and clean the wings well and pat dry.

In large bowl; mix all the ingredients under “Marinade”. Add the wings and mix to coat well. Marinate the wings over night or at least for 2 hours. But do marinate them over night for the best of taste.

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C. Arrange the wings on a baking tray and bake for about 30-40 minutes or till the chicken has cooked through, browned and slightly charred.  Flip  the wings half through the baking for even cooking/browning.

Serve immediately with chili sauce or your favorite dip.
