Orange-Glazed Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar 
• 4 pounds chicken wings 
• 6 cloves garlic minced
• 0.5 teaspoon fresh-ground pepper black
• 1 cup orange juice fresh (from 2 oranges)
• 2 tablespoons orange zest grated (from 3 oranges)
• 1.5 teaspoons salt 
• 0.3 cup soya sauce 

Equipment

• bowl
• baking sheet
• oven

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 40
2. In a large bowl, combine the orange juice with the orange zest, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat.
4. On two large baking sheets, arrange the wings in a single layer. Reserve 1/4 cup of the orange mixture and spoon the rest of the mixture over the wings.
5. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and baste them with the reserved orange mixture. Cook until just done, about 10 minutes longer.
6. Serve this finger food with a vegetable that you can also eat with your hands, such as strips of raw fennel or jicama.
7. Test-Kitchen Tip: When you grate the orange zest, remove only the orange layer of the skin, leaving the bitter white pith behind.
8. Wine Recommendation: Sweet, salty, and hot, this dish really needs a wine with good acidity, moderate alcohol, and just a touch of sweetness. Look for a low-alcohol German kabinett riesling or a semi-dry riesling from the Finger Lakes region of New York.
