Sticky wings

Life is so crazy. I spent the past weekend in New England, having a wonderful time. We got back late last night, worked early this morning, and had to take the car in to the shop after I got home, then throw together a quick dinner so we can go to bed early. I roasted some vegetables to go alongside, and there was dinner! These wings are so great. Alex and I both had sauce all over everything, arms and faces. They're a little sweet and a little spicy and oh so good.

Sticky wings

2 lbs chicken wings
3 cloves garlic
3/4 t salt
3 T honey
2 T soy sauce
1 T chili-garlic paste
1 T gf hoisin (if you can't find it, skip it, but this one is gf)
1 t sesame oil
1 T cornstarch
chopped scallions

Preheat the oven to 425. Crush and roughly chop the garlic, and stir together in a bowl with the salt, honey, soy saice, chili-garlic paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Add the wings and toss to coat. Spread out the wings on a cookie sheet, pour the rest of the sauce over. Bake 35-40 minutes, turning once. Remove the wings to a bowl, pouring the remaining sauce into a small saucepan and heat to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch into a little bit of water (about 2 T) until dissolved, then stir into the sauce. Cook 2 minutes until thickened a bit, then pour over the wings. Sprinkle in scallions, toss to coat, and serve.

    Thanks for another great recipe. My entire family loved this. Put some sauce on tofu cubes for my vegetarian daughter; everyone else gobbled down the wings. Served it with rice. Big hit!
