PREPARE THE WINGS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then add a wire rack atop. NOTE: Doing this step is a MUST to prevent sticking and ensures that the wings crisp up evenly. OPTION 2: Prepare a 12-inch oven-safe iron cast skillet and grease with butter.
Rinse your chicken wings and pat dry well to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Once dry, add seasonings and rub everything together with your hands until wings are well coated.
Line each wing atop prepared wire rack on baking sheet side by side, about 1 inch apart.
Bake wings for about 20-25 minutes or until crisp and cooked through before adding the sauce.
TO MAKE THE SAUCE:
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, garlic cloves, orange juice, honey, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ginger, hot sauce, water, and orange peels and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, until bubbly stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and add the arrowroot mixture (mix both together until “milky” looking) stirring until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
Once the wings have become crispy, spoon the sauce atop wings and let them bake for another 5-6 minutes or until the sauce is “sticky” atop wings.
Remove the chicken wings from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite side.
Bon Appetit!
