Lacquered Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

Place the wings in a disposable roasting pan. Combine the soy sauce and brown sugar. Sprinkle the chicken with a liberal grinding of coarse black pepper and pour the soy-sugar mixture over the wings. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°. Bake the wings for 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven and, with tongs, turn each piece. Bake an additional 30 minutes. Turn again and bake 15 minutes longer. The wings will be a rich dark brown and very tender. 4 appetizer servings.

We found that these can be made ahead and frozen in plastic zipper bags. When ready to use, partially thaw at room temperature, place the wings and sauce in a disposable roasting pan and reheat for 15-20 minutes at 350°. Using a disposable pan is a major time-saver for this recipe!
