Pic above is pre-baked wings.

Ingredients: Chicken wings, sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, honey, paprika powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken stock powder, sesame oil, oyster sauce, white pepper.

Time needed: approx 30 min in the oven, depends on size and quantity of wings.

Steps:
1. Marinate the wings with whatever you fancy. If there is too much honey, wings will burn more easily.
2. Preheat oven to 180 degree.
3. Arrange marinated (I only marinate for 20 minutes. More commonly people marinate wings overnight) wings on foiled oven tray.
4. Turn each wings over half way through, then continue baking. Also take out the wing tips, due to their smaller sizes, less cooking time is needed.
