Chili Beer Chicken Wings

Category: Wings

2 1/2 lbs chicken wings and drumsticks
1/3 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup beer
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbs honey
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp red chili flake
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs rice wine vinegar

Preheat the oven to 425.

Rinse the chicken wings in cold water and dry well. Sprinkle chicken on all sides with cornstarch and rub to coat.

In a separate bowl, add the beer, soy, honey, chili powder, garlic powder, red chili flake, salt, and vinegar, stirring well to combine. Add the chicken, toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for ten to twenty minutes.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Remove the chicken from marinade and arrange wings on the baking sheet and bake at 425 for ten minutes.

While the chicken is baking, add the remaining marinade to a pot over medium high heat, stiring frequently, reduce until thickened and syrupy, about 8-10 minutes.

Once the marinade has reduced, remove the chicken from the oven and brush with the thickened marinade, turn them over, brush with marinade on the other side.

Return to the oven and allow to cook for an additional ten minutes, basting again. Allow chicken to bake until cooked through, an additional 10-15 minutes.

(Note: the total cooking time for the chicken will be approximately 25-35 minutes, requiring basting every ten minutes)
