Step 2
On two large baking sheets, arrange the wings in a single layer. Reserve 1/4 cup of the orange mixture and spoon the rest of the mixture over the wings. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and baste them with the reserved orange mixture. Cook until just done, about 10 minutes longer.

Notes

Test-Kitchen Tip When you grate the orange zest, remove only the orange layer of the skin, leaving the bitter white pith behind.

Serve With

Serve this finger food with a vegetable that you can also eat with your hands, such as strips of raw fennel or jicama.

Suggested Pairing

Sweet, salty, and hot, this dish really needs a wine with good acidity, moderate alcohol, and just a touch of sweetness. Look for a low-alcohol German Kabinett Riesling or a semi-dry Riesling from the Finger Lakes region of New York.

All in all this was a good, helpful recipe, as I'm a relative beginner cook.

Very mild flavored sauce - added an ounce or so of hot sauce to kick it up to my favored level of heat. With this addition (sauce was "Rasta Fire Hot Hot Hot!" if you're interested) the flavor was great. So, one star off for flavor.

Sauce also had no "cling" (most ended up on the baking pan), which I had predicted at the start when I saw how thin it was when I mixed it. Needs a thickener and/or frequent basting vs the application suggested by the recipe. So one star went away for prep instruction.

I will definitely use this recipe again, with the mentioned mods. Thank you!
