Equipment
- Large mixing bowl or ziplock bag to marinade the chicken
- A half sheetpan lined with parchment paper
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken wingettes
FOR THE MARINADE:
- 1 tablespoon garlic freshly crushed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust for your diet)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
MAKE THE MARINADE:
- In a large mixing bowl, add all of the marinade ingredients and mix to combine.Note: You can use a large ziplock bag if you prefer.
MARINADE THE CHICKEN WINGS:
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade and mix to thoroughly coat the chicken. Note: I usually rinse and dry my chicken with paper towels.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.Note: You can marinate up to overnight but it is not necessary.
BAKE THE WINGS:
- Remove the wings from the fridge at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Preheat the oven 375F degrees.Note: I use the roast setting - this is preferred but not absolutely necessary.
- Line a sheetpan with parchment paper.
- Spread the chicken wings on top of the parchment paper.Note: I like to place the thicker drumettes on the outer edges of the pan and the flat pieces on the inside. [This will allow the flat sections to not over cook]
- Roast/Bake the wings for a total of 50 minutes, fliping the wings over half way through the cooking time.Note: I use a kitchen tong to flip the chicken. Also my wings were meaty and larger so the 50 minutes was perfect. If using smaller wings usually 40 to 45 minutes work best.
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with scallions or herbs if desired.
- Serve and enjoy.

Alternatively, you can grill these wings. I usually use the indirect grilling method.
You can also use whole wings, especially if they are small - leaving them whole is best.
The nutrition facts is based on a generous serving of 4 to 5 wings.
