Buffalo Wings

• 14 chicken wings
• 5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brandy
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 orange zested and juiced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 whole star anise pod, s, crushed
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 3 tbsp. water
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce optional

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Place a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Combine the soy sauce, brandy, rice wine vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, brown sugar, and the crushed star anise. Whisk until well combined and bring the contents to a boil, then add in the cornstarch and water mixture and stir until well blended. Reduce heat to low and allow the contents to simmer for 1-3 minutes or until thickened.
4. Pour the sauce over the chicken wings and brush the wings with the sauce until they are all covered. Place the parchment-lined baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the wings are golden and crisp.
