Ginger Orange Glazed Chicken Wings

This recipe was well-received by my family: aged 16 to 82! I made it once with just chicken breasts, then another time with wings and drumsticks. I forgot the sliced green onions (yes, I had them ready), but no one missed them.

I was attracted to this recipe because of the orange juice. I substituted fresh clementine juice (about 8) and brown sugar. I also added crushed red pepper and a bit more hoison than the recipe called for. When the chicken was done I drained the juices, and because the chicken wasn’t “sauced” to my liking, added molasses and 5 spice, and cooked it down to a thick sauce. Grilled the final pieces and gave the sauce to pass around as a finishing touch. Everyone raved about them. I’m giving this a four because it provided the basis of a great recipe for me. Thanks Dee, for sharing this with us..

These wings were amazing. Very easy recipe. I have made them several times. I like subbing frozen pineapple, (like another person suggested). Either way it is a winner! Thank You!

I used chicken drumsticks in this recipe instead of wings. I let the chicken marinade in this all day before cooking it. This turned out really well. The kids and I liked it a lot. It seems to be missing something I can’t put my finger on but as is, a very good glaze/marinade for chicken. I served this with vegetable fried rice and it was an economical and filling meal. I’ll make this again, only I think I’ll de-skin the chicken next time.

The chicken was delicious, but I am not giving this recipe 5 stars for a couple reasons. First of all, I don’t like eating the skin of the chicken so without the skin the flavor wasn’t as strong. Next time I will take the skin off so that the meat gets flavored better. Secondly, I did not have hoisin sauce so I made my own from directions on a different website. I used soy sauce, honey,vinegar, garlic powder, oil, and pepper. I didn’t have hot sauce or bean paste as it had recommended.

Not all major grocery stores carry hoisin sauce. I went to 4 stores and it was not worth the trouble. This was not that tasty.

These were absolutely’ heavenly’. I had five straight off! Made another batch for my daughter in law and got rave reviews the next day. Basted the wings every ten minutes with left over marinade and for the last 10 minutes added a half teaspoon cornflour to the liquid. Gave the wings a lovely glazed appearance.

These were pretty good, but I think could have been better. I did not have orange juice concentrate so I used the juice of an orange and also tossed the orange zest into the marinade for flavor. I increased the hoisin and sugar just a bit, trying to make up for the lack of concentrate. The flavors were good – mild orange, ginger, hoisin flavors – but I think they needed more of a kick. Again, if the marinade had been thicker perhaps it would have caramelized more on the chicken. Still, tasty wings, just needed a little something extra to be perfect.

I loved This Recipe…… I didn’t have orange juice….so I used a can of Pineapples in Juice and it was GREAT!!!! Everybody love the the taste of the actual pineapple with the chicken. I also added more Ginger then listed for that variety of flavors Im making this one again.

This recipe has the potential to be great, or not so good, depending on what your taste is, and how you prepare the wings. Many people do not like the strong flavor of ginger. It doesn’t take much, but if you like a lot, put in a lot. I also found that if you blend the ingredients in a food processor, the marinade is much more balanced. I suggest adding less ginger, and more sugar and orange.

Nice delicate flavor. I thought these wings were nice and would be good for those guests who don’t like really saucy, strong flavored wings. I cooked on a broiler pan so that they would crisp up, the result of this was that the marinade all fell through to the pan underneath. had I cooked them in the sauce on a cookie sheet as recommended, they may have tasted stronger, I will try this next time.

This didn’t come out as tasty as I expected. Even with double seasonings this was very bland and I otherwise followed the directions exactly. Sorry but this was not a big hit at our house.

This is great with wings. When I tried it with skinless chicken breasts it was too sweet.

I marinated these overnight, added red pepper flakes based on other reviews, and these wings were still very bland. I used 3/4 of the amount of ginger called for and I’m glad I did….a full portion of ginger might have made them inedible.

a hit with dh and 1 of 2 kids.

I’d make this again! Like others, I failed to marinate overnight. I doubled the recipe in a 2 gallon ziplock, and kept flipping it on the counter until 45 minutes before meal time. My oven was in use for other items, so I opted to put these on the grill. I lined my biggest pan (about 16x20x3) with heavy duty aluminum foil, preheated the grill, and tried to keep it at 400. (FYI, I could only fit about 2/3 of the double recipe in the pan, so I kept some for another night) I turned the wings once a bit over 1/2 time. I let it sit a bit too long (last minute logistic issues on my part with side dishes) so some stuck to to foil, although the ‘burned ones’ still tasted good. The whole family loved these, and one of my kids already called dibs on the leftovers for tonight’s dinner.

wow i must be the only one who didnt like them. i did everything as directed, except i didnt have time to marinate them overnight so i marinated them for about 5 hours. the ginger was overpowering and i could barely taste any orange flavor. i did not like this recipe, it wasnt horrible, but it wasnt the best.

Amazing! What a flavor explosion. I make the glaze in the morning, add let it sit in the fridge most of the day, that evening I add the sauce to the chicken and let it all sit overnight. Do add the crushed red pepper, the extra kick is just one more amazing flavor in this mix.

Wonderful recipe. I used chicken thighs instead of the wings. The chicken was so moist and flavorful. My husband loved it.
