  • · 1 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Directions

Mix Marinade ingredients.

1. Place wings in large bowl, pour over Marinade and toss well. Set aside for 10 minutes - do not marinate for longer than 1 hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 350F.

3. Line baking tray with parchment paper.

4. Shake excess marinade off wings (but reserve the marinade) and spread on the baking tray.

5. Bake 45 - 50 minutes, basting with a brush at 25 minutes and 35 minutes, using the reserved marinade and juices on the tray.

6. The meat should be able to be pulled off the bones quite easily, they should be just starting to char on the edges and a sticky, dark red/golden color all over.

7. Sprinkle with garnishes - cilantro leaves, sesame seeds, chili, sliced scallions - then serve!
