    Ingredients
     

    • 2 lbs chicken wings (or wing sections or drummies)

    Hunan Sauce

    • ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth
    • 1 ½ tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 2 tablespoon chili paste (we use Sambal Oelek)
    • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
    • 2 tablespoon honey
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

    Instructions

    Hunan Sauce

    • Combine sauce ingredients: chicken broth, chili paste, honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth then place over the chicken wing portions (in a ziploc bag or a bowl) and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
      ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth, 1 ½ tablespoon low sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 tablespoon chili paste, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 2 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 lbs chicken wings

    Hunan Chicken Wings

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and place marinated chicken on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (or a greased baking dish). Remove the chicken from the refrigerated bag or container, saving the excess sauce to heat up and coat the chicken wings with during cooking.
    • Place the chicken in the oven and cook for 45-50 minutes or until no longer pink inside. While cooking the wings, heat up the excess sauce over medium heat in a small saucepan until it comes to a low boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
    • Coat the chicken with the sauce (also half way through cooking, if desired) 5 minutes before it is done. Finish with the extra sauce coated on your wings, remove from the oven and serve immediately.
    • Garnish with sliced green peppers, sliced chili peppers, or sesame seeds, if desired.
