Author Joseph Sciascia of Recipe For A Party

Ingredients

  • 5 lbs chicken wings cut at the joints if not already done
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Chinese 5 spice
  • 4 tbsp corn starch
  • 3/4 cup Hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp Asian chili garlic sauce like Huy Fong brand
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 3/4 cup apricot jam
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees

  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and toss in a mixing bowl with the Chinese 5 spice and corn starch (the corn starch makes them crisp) and drizzle with sesame oil and toss well

  3. Place a cooling rack over a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray, place the chicken on the rack making sure that the chicken parts don't touch, this amount of wings will need two pans

  4. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, take out of oven and with tongs flip the chicken wings over and roast for another 20 minutes or until deep golden brown and crispy

  5. While the chicken is roasting make the sauce by mixing together the hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar and apricot jam over medium heat in a medium sauce pan, whisking occasionally until sauce is smooth and bubbly, cover and turn off (may need to reheat again for a few minutes once the chicken is done)

  6. Place the wings into a large bowl and toss with some of the warm sauce, this sauce goes far so use a small amount first, you can always serve extra sauce in a dip bowl for dipping, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions and serve. Serves 8 as an appetizer
