(Serves 3-4)
Up to 3lbs chicken wings, split
Marinade
½ tsp sesame oil (preferably toasted sesame oil)
2 tblsp lemon juice
2 tblsp Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing wine)
2 tblsp soy sauce
2 tblsp brown sugar or honey
1 ½ tbsp hoisin sauce
1 ½ tbsp oyster sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, crushed and minced
½ tsp five spice powder
Optional Garnishes:

Mix all the marinade ingredients together, this can be made in advance up to a day.
Marinate the chicken wings for one hour only.
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
Line a baking tray/cookie sheet with foil then wax paper. Reserving the marinade, shake off the excess marinade and place a cookie sheet (or two) with room in between the portions. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes, and using the reserved marinade, baste the wings at 30 minutes in and then again at 40 minutes. Your looking for the wings to be slightly charred on the edges and sticky dark red/golden color all over.
Sprinkle with any garnishes and serve!
