I used this recipe for the sauce. I didn't have any frozen OJ, so I subbed in a can of frozen margarita mix. I loved it! it was tangy, slightly sweet, and hot. A little too hot for my uninitiated taste buds, so I would reduce the amount of red pepper flakes. My friends would love it full strength though.

I mean the technique for making these is spot on fantastic. I steamed them first and then baked at 425 for 20 minutes, then I turned them over and turned my oven down to 400 and put it on convection. The result? Crispy skin, tender meat. Yummy.
I glazed some with an asian type teriyaki glaze and the rest with Franks and butter.
Messy prep, but well worth it in delicious wings.
Thanks Mr. Brown!!

Step 1
Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1 inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 4
Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
Step 5
During the last 20 minutes of cooking the chicken, place the orange juice concentrate, hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and red pepper flakes into a small saucepan, stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the mixture to about 1/2 cup, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool at least 5 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl along with the glaze and toss to coat. Serve warm.
