Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Marinade:

  • 12 chicken mid-joint wings
  • 10-15 g garlic 5-6 cloves, sliced
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 g black pepper
  • 2 g salt

For Roasting and Garnish:

  • 1 fresh lemon sliced, seeds removed
  • Parsley flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare and Marinate the Wings

  • Rinse the chicken wings under water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  • Using a sharp knife, make 2-3 shallow cuts on both sides of each wing, being careful not to cut through the skin completely.
  • Place the dried wings in a large mixing bowl and add the sliced garlic, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, black pepper, and salt.
  • Using your hands, mix everything thoroughly, making sure each wing is evenly coated with the marinade and the garlic is well distributed.
  • Let the wings marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. For even more developed flavor, you can cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.

Preheat Oven and Arrange the Wings

  • Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F). Allow it to heat for 10-15 minutes to ensure it reaches the proper temperature.
  • While the oven is heating, line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Take your fresh lemon and slice it into thin rounds, making sure to remove any seeds that could release bitterness during roasting.
  • Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, creating a bed for the chicken wings.
  • Place the marinated wings on top of the lemon slices in a single layer, making sure they aren't crowded or overlapping.

Roast and Flip the Wings

  • Place the baking tray on the middle rack of your preheated oven and roast at 210°C for 30 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, carefully remove the tray from the oven and use tongs to flip each wing to ensure even cooking and browning on both sides.
  • Return the tray to the oven and continue roasting for the remaining 15 minutes.

Serve the Finished Wings

  • Check that the wings are fully cooked by piercing the thickest part with a knife - the juices should run clear with no pink color.
  • The wings should have a beautiful golden-brown color with slightly crispy edges.
  • Transfer the wings to a serving platter using tongs, and garnish with fresh parsley flakes if desired.
  • Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor experience.
