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.

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.
