Serves 6 3 lbs of chicken wings (you can either use drumettes or wings) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger powder 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup honey 3 tablespoons vinegar (I use rice vinegar) Salt and pepper to finish Mix together olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, onion powder and salt. Mix well. Add chicken wings and rub spice mixture all over the wings making sure to coat everything thoroughly. Slow cooking method (1 hour start to finish) Preheat oven to 350. Line your baking pan with foil (for easier cleanup). Lay chicken wings/drumettes in a single layer on the pan. Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes. While chicken is baking, mix together honey and vinegar. Watch chicken carefully after 45 minutes. (These took a full 55 minutes in my oven, but I know my oven runs colder than other ovens.) When the wings are golden and crispy, take the wings out, and drizzle honey vinegar mixture over each wing. Put the wings back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the honey caramelizes on top. Remove from oven and sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Serve.
