Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil.
-
Add the minced garlic and finely chopped yellow onion, sautéing until translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the lemon juice, orange juice, granulated sugar, orange zest, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and salt.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens to the consistency of warm honey, about 10 minutes.
-
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Place the chicken wings in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
-
Pour the cooled sauce over the wings, turning them to ensure they are evenly coated.
-
Let the wings marinate for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate if marinating longer.
-
Remove the wings from the marinade using a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid.
-
Spread the wings in a single layer on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
-
Bake for 20-30 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the wings are cooked through and slightly crispy.
-
Serve the wings hot or at room temperature.
