Maple Syrup Roast Chicken Wings

Other than using Maple Syrup for pancakes, I was trying to google for a recipe that uses it in some other form. And voila...lots of recipes cropped up for using it to roast chicken. I went for one with oriental touch as I was planning on roasting a whole bird of chicken some time within the week as well, so this was the recipe I used. It was so so easy to do, just marinate the chicken wings, then roast it in the ovenette at 180 degree Celcius for 15 minutes and attack while it is still hot! The balance of the marinade was not wasted at all, I reduced it slightly in the pot over the stove so that it thickens and this went very well spooned over white steamed rice.



MAPLE SYRUP ROAST CHICKEN WINGS
Yield: 3 servings
Ingredients:
6 pieces chicken wings (approximate weight of 750g)
2 tbsp dark soya sauce *I used LKK brand*
3 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soya sauce *I used LKK brand*
2 tbsp maple syrup *I used Lyle brand, refer photo below*
1 tbsp Shao Xing wine
3 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp All Spice powder *I omitted because I don't have it at home*

Method:
1/ Marinate the chicken wings with everything on the list and leave it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavour to soak in.
2/ Line a baking try with aluminium foil and place chicken wings on it, then roast in a preheated oven at 180 degree Celcius for 15 minutes.
3/ At the same time, pour the marinade into a pot and bring it to a boil till slightly thickened and reduced.
4/ Remove the chicken wings from the oven and either pour the gravy over or serve this separately.

The brand of Maple Syrup I used, or rather, it was Maple flavoued Golden Syrup by Lyle.
