Well, I followed the recipe EXACTLY. Made the full 4 lbs of wings.
Here they are before going in the oven. In a single layer with all the marinade poured over the top.
After 30 minutes there was a ton of sauce left and with only 15 minutes left on the timer I thought I needed to drain some of the sauce off so the rest could get sticky as described being the outcome desired.
I got about 2 1/2 cups of sauce/juice.
Here they are, drained, and going back in the oven.
I left them in for another 20 to 25 minutes until they looked 'sticky' and a deeper brown as described.
Final dinner. Wings, salad and air fryer frites.
I was so full after eating just three. I made mostly the drumettes.
They tasted sweet and smoky. We rated them an 8/10.
I think they will reheat in the little steam oven.
A good recipe for a crowd.
I would make a 1/2 recipe next time.
Oh, and use heavy duty foil for easy clean up.
