Sweet and Savory Chinese Chicken Wings

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has fully incorporated into the mixture, creating a smooth consistency.

Remove the saucepan from heat and permit it to cool down to room temperature.

Place chicken wings in a substantial container. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the wings and ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the container with plastic wrap to prevent contamination. Allow the chicken to sit in the refrigerator for an extended period, typically 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Transfer the chicken wings and marinade into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is thoroughly hot, taking approximately 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes to achieve a crispy exterior.
