Directions

Remove the tips from the wings by cutting between the joints. Transfer the wings to a large resealable plastic bag.

Combine the honey, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, garlic and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour half the marinade into the bag with the chicken. Squeeze out most of the air and seal the bag. Shake gently to distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, sear the chicken wings, flipping once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, flipping the wings often to prevent them from burning. Remove the skillet from the oven and add the remaining marinade. Continue to cook the wings on the stovetop until the sauce is thick and coats the chicken wings evenly.

To serve, arrange the wings on a platter and garnish with lemon zest.

    Fabulous!! Changed a couple of things though to cut down time and mess. I didn't marinate the wings or sear them in a pan. I put nonstick foil in my broiler pan. I cooked the wings in a 450 oven for 30 minutes. I turned the oven down to 350, and while waiting for the temp to decrease, thickened the sauce on the stove. I then pulled the sides of the foil up to make a "wall" and poured all the sauce over the wings. Cooked at 350 for about 20 minutes more, basting and turning every 10 minutes. Delicious!!!

    Great! and easy. Used pomegranate balsamic, and it turned out terrific. This sauce makes the best glaze. Do watch carefully since the sugar will burn. The lemon at the end is a bonus. Serve with lots of wet naps.

    As expected, these wings are amazing. There are so many flavors, and I loved the fresh ginger. Who would've thought from chicken wings?!
