Ingredients

Turkey Wings

2½-3 pounds (1-1.5kg) turkey wings
2-3 tablespoons (24-36g) jerk seasoning or Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon (2g) ground black pepper
1 drizzle cooking oil (optional)

Spicy Honey Soy Garlic Sauce

2 tablespoons (28g) butter
1 teaspoon (5g) minced garlic
2 green onions chopped
½ cup (140g) ketchup
⅛-¼ cup (43-85g) honey
1-2 tablespoons (12-25g) brown sugar
1 lemon, juiced
2-3 tablespoons (57g) hot sauce, adjust to taste
2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) soy sauce
1 teaspoon (4g) cornstarch
½ cup (120ml) pineapple juice or water

Instructions

Turkey Wings

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F (200℃).
Rinse turkey wings. If time permits, let them dry uncovered in the fridge for 2-3 hours. If short on time, dry wings with a paper towel or kitchen towel, then proceed with the next step.
Place the turkey wings in a large bowl with the jerk spices, pepper, and a drizzle of oil (optional) and toss to coat.
Line a baking pan with foil, and top with a wire rack. Arrange your turkey wings in a single layer. While the wings are baking, the fat will slowly drip into the bottom of the baking pan.
Bake the turkey wings until cooked through and the skin is crispy (45-50 minutes). Rotate wings halfway through—roughly 25 minutes.
Remove and serve with your favorite sauce, or use the sauce below.

Spicy Honey Soy Garlic Sauce

Add butter to a medium or small skillet and melt. Then add garlic and chopped green onions. Sauté for a minute or more.
Then add ketchup, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Simmer for about 2 minutes.
In a separate small bowl, thoroughly mix the cornstarch with the pineapple juice or water.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes for a thick, sticky sauce. Adjust seasonings to your tastes.
Let it cool slightly, drizzle it over your baked turkey wings, and have a blast.

Notes

To ensure crispiness, make sure that the wings are dry and the oven is preheated before baking them.
You can marinate your turkey wings ahead of time with your favorite seasoning, spice, or herbs.
Store the leftover baked turkey wings inside the fridge for up to 4 days and 3 months in the freezer.
Skip the hot sauce to make it a kid-friendly dish.
