Chicken Wings in Sweet-Spicy Sauce – Gluten-free version

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Soy-Honey Sauce

1. 1
   In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, garlic and vinegar.

   💡Honey balances the saltiness of the soy and caramelizes over heat: on the grill it gives a browned crust, and in a pan a glossy sauce.

To assemble

1. 2
   Stir the oil, paprika, hot paprika, salt and black pepper into the marinade. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and coat it well with the marinade.
2. 3
   Marinate the chicken in the mixture 30 minutes, or up to a few hours in the fridge.
3. 4
   Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

   Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer, with space between the pieces.

   Bake uncovered 35–40 minutes, until the wings are crisp and golden. Halfway through, turn the pieces.

   💡In a single layer with space around each piece, the hot air surrounds it and the skin browns and crisps; crowded pieces steam in their own juices.

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
