Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup brandy
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crisp.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the brandy glaze. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the brandy, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes (if using) to the saucepan. Stir to combine and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 6

Remove the baked chicken wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the brandy glaze over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.

Step 7

Return the glazed wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot. Enjoy!
