Instructions

Remove the tips of the chicken wings and cut the wings in between two joints so you have the drumettes and the flat piece containing two long bones separated.
Combine the tomato paste, soy sauce, garlic and ginger paste, honey, rice wine, mirin, chilli flakes, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix well until you have a smooth, rich marinade.
Add the chicken wings and mix well until the wings are nicely coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally overnight.
Preheat the oven to 180° C - 356° F (fan oven).
Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on a baking dish. Try not to overlap them, as this can stop them from browning properly.
Cook for 50 to 60 minutes until the wings are nicely caramelized and start to crisp on the edges.
During the cooking period, rotate the chicken wings and glaze them with the marinade every 15 minutes making sure all sides are covered evenly.
Once cooked, garnish the wings with sliced spring onions and fresh red chillies before serving.

Notes

If using frozen chicken wings, ensure they are completely thawed before baking them.
Pat dry the chicken wings using a towel after removing them from the packaging or defrosting them.
Use medium to large-sized chicken wings and let them marinate for 2 hours, ideally overnight.
When cooking the chicken wings, make sure they are nicely layered on a tray without overlapping.
Flip the wings a couple of times during the cooking period to ensure they are cooked evenly.
The cooking time will vary depending on the temperature of your oven and the size of the chicken wings.
Keep an eye on the wings towards the end of cooking, as the honey in the marinade can darken quickly.
The leftovers would keep refrigerated for up to five days in an airtight container. Make sure they are completely cooled down before refrigerating them.
If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months!
