Ingredients

12 whole chicken wings
1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1 inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.

Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.

During the last 20 minutes of cooking the chicken, place the orange juice concentrate, hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and red pepper flakes into a small saucepan, stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the mixture to about 1/2 cup, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool at least 5 minutes.

Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl along with the glaze and toss to coat. Serve warm.

A Very Nice Change
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The sauce is simple and has a great flavor and it's nice to have a recipe that bakes them so that i don't have to cool and... dispose of so much oil.Read more

Too much orange flavor
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

It is not a bad recipe, but it had a way to strong of an orange flavor that overpowered the wings. Maybe a quarter of what... the recipe calls for of the orange concentrate, more hoison sauce, honey and red pepper.Read more

Great Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I seen the show and decided I wanted to try these Orange Chicken Wings. I made them and took them to my classmates at... Refrigeration school. They were a huge hit. One comment I got was from a guy in class from China and he said the sauce tasted very much like a sauce his mother used to make for chicken when he was a boy living in China. He loved them so I gave him the web site for the recipe.Read more

Good recipe!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

A very interesting and effective way to cook the chicken wings. I thought the glaze was good, but did not rise to the level... of greatness. Just had too much orange bite, in my opinion -- but worked well enough with the actual wings. It's a good recipe.Read more
