Ingredients:
- 2 kg chicken wings, separated into two parts with the ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika
- For the sauce:
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 100 ml water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika or chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- For the rice:
- 1 carrot, grated
- 30 grams butter
- 1 cup washed rice
- 2 cups water
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine the chopped garlic, water, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, paprika or chili powder, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- After 20 minutes of baking, flip the chicken wings over and brush them with the prepared sauce.
- Return the chicken wings to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken wings again and brush them with the sauce once more.
- Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken wings are cooked through and the sauce is caramelized.
- While the chicken wings are finishing up, prepare the rice. In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the grated carrot and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the washed rice to the pot and stir to coat it in the butter and carrot mixture.
- Pour in the water and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and fluffy.
Cook Notes and Variations:
- For extra crispy chicken wings, you can broil them for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings and spices in the sauce to suit your taste preferences. You can add more honey for sweetness or more chili powder for heat.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces for the chicken wings, such as barbecue sauce, buffalo sauce, or ranch dressing.
Keto and Low-Carb Versions:
- To make this recipe keto-friendly or low-carb, you can substitute the honey in the sauce with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia.
- Omit the cornstarch from the sauce or use a small amount of xanthan gum as a thickener.
- Serve the chicken wings with a side of low-carb vegetables or a salad instead of rice.
