Crispy Baked Asian Chicken Wings  Print Friendly  Description: There are few occasions when I’d argue that “baked” rules over “deep-fried.” But believe it or not, a piping hot oven—and not a vat of bubbling oil—is the secret to the crispiest, crackliest chicken wings. And with just five ingredients and 50 minutes, you’ll be licking your fingers clean for every last taste of these Crispy Baked Asian Chicken Wings. Sound too good to be true? I consider myself a bit of a wing connoisseur. Buffalo, chipotle, teriyaki, barbecue—you name it, I’ve winged it. While it’s hard to beat basic butter and hot sauce, I’ve turned to my favorite hoisin and blackberry jam glaze (of mini-meatball fame) to add a sweet and tangy twist to each crunchy bite. I guarantee these wings will fly off the plate. (You had to know that was coming…) Ingredients: 2½ pounds chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil 1 Tablespoon Chinese 5-Spice or other Asian spice blend 1/3 cup hoisin sauce 1/4 cup blackberry jam Directions: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Rinse wings and drumettes and pat dry. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with vegetable oil and spice blend until well coated. Position wings on baking racks in a single layer ensuring that wings aren't touching. Bake, rotating pan half-way through, until fully cooked, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove wings from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Whisk together hoisin and blackberry jam in a small saucepot over medium-low heat until warm. Drizzle wings with sauce, tossing until well coated. Serve immediately. Servings: 4 Category: Main Meals Submitted By: Kelly Senyei @ justataste.com

Wellness Tip

Fructose Fructose occurs naturally in fruit, along with many other healthy nutrients including vitamins, minerals and fiber. Current nutrition guidelines indicate most people should be eating more fruit. However, when used as an additive in candy, drinks and baked goods, fructose isn't any better for us than its chemical cousin, sucrose (regular sugar). Fructose provides just as many calories and can have a laxative effect if consumed in large amounts. So, eat your fruits, but try to avoid added fructose.
