Recipe courtesy Sunny Anderson, 2008

 

 

1 habanero, seeded and chopped                                                                                                                 

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons fennel seed

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons allspice

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon ground ginger

4 garlic cloves, chopped

4 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 cup orange juice

7 pounds chicken wings

 

In a food processor, blend together all the ingredients but the chicken until smooth. Reserve 1 cup of marinade. Place chicken wings into a large resealable plastic bag and pour remaining marinade over them. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator 4 to 6 hours.

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet trays with parchment. Remove chicken from bag and place on the baking sheets. Bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring reserved marinade to a boil. Reduce by 1/3 until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove chicken from oven. Brush chicken with the glaze. Raise the heat to 400 degrees F and cook chicken until cooked through, another 20 minutes.
