Instructions
1
Marinate Chicken
In a large bowl, mix together the oil, honey, soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, brown sugar, and salt. Tumble in the chicken wings and prick them all over with a fork. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
2
Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking pan with foil.
3
Bake
Arrange the chicken wings in the prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes, turning halfway, until the skin is a glossy, golden brown. Check for doneness by cutting into a piece—the meat should not be pink.
