Full recipe

There are hundreds of recipes for chicken wings, and a dozen of them exactly deserve attention. Last time I showed you how to cook Buffalo wings, but today I want to demonstrate a very fast and easy to prepare variant in orange-soy sauce, which has a perfect sweet-sour balance.

• 

You can take whole wings and divide them into joints for convenience, or buy the cut ones at once. I had the second option in the store, so I will cook with them. If you cut a whole wing, it is better to use the smallest phalanx for cooking broth, because in the oven they will simply burn. Wings are well washed and put in a bowl.

• 

Now let’s cook marinade. For this we take one orange, a few cloves of garlic, soy sauce and spices. From the orange I cut the zest to put in the sauce separately. It seems to me that this way the chicken gets a more pronounced citrus flavor.

• 

• 

We divide the remaining orange into parts and squeeze the juice out of it.

• 

• 

To prevent the orange bones from falling into the marinade, squeeze the juice into a separate bowl or use a strainer.

Tip

We add a few spoons of soy sauce and spices to the marinade. I use a little salt, sugar, paprika and pepper.

• 

Sugar can be replaced by honey, but remember that it adds its specific flavor. If you have smoked paprika, throw it, and it will add a nice barbecue flavor to the finished wings. I also always use the hot sauce to make the chicken spicy. Spicy sauce can still be achieved by adding red pepper or some mustard.

• 

At the end, squeeze out a few garlic cloves with a garlic crusher. If this is not possible, grind it with a knife. Mix the wings well in orange soy sauce, and leave for 30 minutes.

• 

• 

At the end of marinating wings, heat the oven to 200 degrees. We will bake chicken on a baking tray. Lay out the wings, keeping a distance between them, so they evenly baked.

• 

By the way, the chicken marinated in this way can be fried both in a frying pan and in a multicooker – it turns out very similar to baked. Baking tray with wings keep in the oven for 20 minutes, then take out and turn the chicken on the other side.

• 

Earlier I poured plenty of chicken, while cooking, with sauce. But now it produces a lot of moisture, so I use it exclusively as marinade. Otherwise, the chicken looks more like boiled than baked.

Fact

Readymade wings are served with any side dish to taste: mashed potatoes, porridges, pasta, salad, etc.

• 

The dish is very easy to cook, does not require any exquisite ingredients, but it is perfect for a festive table. The wings get a chic flavor and aroma due to orange juice and zest, and also strengthen its meat flavor due to soy sauce.

• 

If you want, you can bake them immediately with potatoes, but then they will be less fried.

Bon appetit! Don’t starve 😋
