Preheat oven to 425℉. Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet and grease it.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss chicken wings with oil until evenly covered. Sprinkle salt, and pepper and toss to coat evenly.
Lay chicken wings out on the wire rack in one single layer. Try not to crowd them.
Bake wings for 40-45 minutes.(You can always check for doneness by cutting into the center or check the internal temperature. Chicken should be cooked to 165°F internal temperature.)
Orange Glaze:
Note: There is enough glaze for 8-12 whole wings (try to pick bigger oranges for a little more juice).
Squeeze the juice out of oranges and whisk it with soy sauce and honey. Press in garlic and add grated ginger and cayenne pepper. Whisk well.
Add the mixture to a sauce pot and bring to boil over medium heat.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let it gently simmer, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced by about half and looks more like a glaze. Take the sauce pot off heat.
PRO TIP: If you want your glaze to be thicker, you can stir in a cornstarch slurry during the last couple of minutes of simmering. Mix 1/2 tsp of cornstarch with 1 tsp of cold water and whisk it into the glaze.
Once the wings are done, toss them in the glaze and serve.
Notes
*You can use whole chicken wings or broken down into flats and drumettes.
**Use gluten free soy sauce if you need to keep the recipe gluten free!
Storing: transfer them into an airtight food storage container and keep it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Best way to reheat any chicken wings is in the air fryer at 380°F for 2-3 minutes. (Whole chicken wings though are better to reheat at 360°F for 3-4 minutes in the air-fryer.) If air fryer is not available, you can use an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
