  • • 1 Tbs roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. For the wings:
  2. If you are organized, uncover the chicken wings and leave them in the fridge for a few hours to dry out. Otherwise, use a paper towel to pat the wings dry. In bowl or large zip-lock bag mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and 5 Spice powder. Completely coat wings with dry mixture. Place wings on a wire cooking rack so they are separated and not touching each other. You can bake them at this point however for best results leave them uncovered in your refrigerator for several hours to overnight.
  3. For the sauce
  4. In a sauce pan heat the garlic, butter and sesame oil then add the OJ, soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, orange peel, ginger, sugar, pepper and 5 Spice powder. Mix well while heating to a slow simmer
  5. Bake the wings at 375F for 15 mins then flip them and bake for an additional 15 mins. Flip the wings one last time and bake for another 15 mins. Remove wings from the oven place in a large bowl and use sauce to coat wings. Serve garnished with roasted sesame seeds, enjoy!
