Ingredients

1/2 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon fennel seeds

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

2 cloves garlic, chopped

2 scallions, chopped

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

3 pounds chicken wings

Preparation

  1. Combine the habanero, soy sauce, honey, both sugars, fennel seeds, cayenne, allspice, thyme, ginger, garlic and scallions in a blender. Add the vinegar, lime juice and orange juice and blend until smooth. Place the wings in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the wings from the bag, place on the lined sheets and bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the wings from the oven and brush with the glaze. Raise the oven temperature to 400 and continue to bake until the wings are cooked through, 20 more minutes.
