Baked Habanero Hot Wings
- 14~16 chicken wings
- 2 habaneros, deseeded (alter for spiciness)
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 small piece (or 1 tsp) ginger
- 1/2 pear or apple (or 2 tbsp brown sugar)
- 1/2 small onion
- 2 tbsp honey
- salt & pepper (pre-rub)
- scallions slices (garnish)
- sesame seeds (garnish)
- 1. Apply the salt and pepper on the chicken wings for the pre-rub. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2. Meanwhile, prepare the marinade/glaze by adding all ingredients (minus the honey) to a food processor. Pulse until smooth and completely mixed through. Transfer to a saucepan and add the 2 tbsp honey. Bring to a boil until thickened, 5 minutes. Keep ready until basting.
- 3. Bake the wings for about 30 minutes while basting them frequently every 10 minutes or so.
- 4. After 30 minutes, set to broil and let cook for another 15~20 minutes while basting with remaining glaze. Broiling near the end creates crispier and crunchier wings that we personally enjoy.
- 5. When wings are charred and slightly burned, transfer to a serving plate. Let cool for several minutes and garnish with thinly sliced scallion and/or toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!!
