Bat Wings

Bat Wings are savory chicken wings coated in a dark, glossy soy glaze that mimics the appearance of bat wings. The wings are baked until crispy and caramelized, resulting in a shiny, sticky exterior with tender meat inside. Their eerie, black sheen makes them a fun and spooky snack for Halloween gatherings.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds chicken wings preferably drumettes and wingettes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce dark soy sauce for a deep glaze
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey for sweetness and glaze
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar to balance the glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, helping them crisp up in the oven.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the glaze.
  5. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
  6. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the skin is crispy and darkened, and the glaze is bubbling and sticky.
  7. Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. The glossy, black surface should shimmer like bat wings, with a slightly sticky texture.
  8. Serve the Bat Wings hot, with extra glaze drizzled over if desired, for a spooky and savory Halloween treat.
