There's no denying, for me, my favorite part of the bird on a roast turkey are the wings. So why not make a sticky spicy batch of turkey wings? It's a fun departure on chicken wings, and monster size for those all the big games this season. Of course, this can be made with chicken wings, too!
Trim the tips of the turkey wings, and detach the wings from the little drumsticks. You will now have 12 pieces. Place in a resealable bag or a glass/nonreactive bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sherry vinegar, honey, garlic, chili sauce (add more if you really like spicy) and ginger. Whisk with a fork to blend. Pour over the turkey wings, seal/cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
The Day Of:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the wings and the marinade into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer, and let it cook for about 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare a baking tray by covering it with aluminum foil and apply a light coat of cooking spray.
Remove the wings and set the sauce aside. Lightly dry the wings and arrange on the baking sheet. Brush with the peanut oil and sprinkle with salt. Lightly baste with about 1/4 cup sauce. Place in the oven.
Bake the wings for about 1 hour, basting frequently. Towards the end, go ahead and put whatever sauce might remain all over the wings, and let it caramelize and brown, turning every so often.
When the wings are gooey and brown, remove from oven and sprinkle with scallions. Serve immediately.
