"Summer, summer, summer time.."

Hey! I hope everyone had a great day :]  It was sunny here in California, finally, and I really cannot wait for summer.  Inspired by summer food, I made some chicken wings with an asian twist of course :]

Depending on how many people you are feeding it will determine how much chicken you will need.  I think 4 wings per person is a good amount.  Now I always buy a party pack at the grocery store and at home I wash them thoroughly and separate them into freezer bags for future meals.  After defrosting the wings I line a cookie sheet with foil and placed the wings, which are already coated with extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper, onto the sheet.  I set my oven to broil and place the wings in the oven.  Depending on the wing size, the cooking time will vary.  I usually keep  an eye on the chicken and  flip them when they have cooked through one side.

As the wings cooked I mixed together the sauce to coat them in.  I eyeball a good amount of Hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and minced garlic, to cover my chicken.  Make sure you do not make too much sauce for coating because it can get salty.  You really need just enough to coat the chicken wings.

After you have flipped the wings and they have cooked on both sides pull them out of the oven to cover them with the sauce you have just prepared.

Now place them back into the oven to heat up and caramelize the sauce.  It took about 2 minutes for my 4 wings to have a nice glaze but be careful about leaving them in the oven too long, you don't want to burn the sauce.  Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool down for about 5 minutes.

BAM!

I paired up the wings with some thai tea I made and was in complete heaven :]

Until next time, eat well!
