GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS

Make sure the chicken marinates for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours to ensure the proper flavor. Buy precut chicken wings for ease of preparation.

12 chicken wings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar

Cut the chicken wings at the joints to make 3 pieces. Reserve the tip thirds to use in broth.

In a small bowl, mix the vegetable oil, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, ginger, salt, and sugar together. Pour over the wings and marinate 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Bake for 40 minutes in a shallow roasting pan (line it with foil for easy cleaning). Stir 3 to 4 times while baking.

Makes 24 pieces (serves 3 to 4)
