Italian Marinade:

• 6 tablespoons chili sauce
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sweet soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon paprika powder
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt, to taste
• White or black pepper, to taste
• Sugar, to taste

For the Sauce:

• Reserved marinade
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
• 100 ml chicken broth
• Sugar, to taste
• Salt, to taste
• White or black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Cut the chicken wings into three sections each.
   • Cut the broccoli into florets.
   • Set aside the frozen French fries for frying.

2. Marinate the Chicken Wings:

   • In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: chili sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, olive oil, oregano, honey, paprika powder, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sugar.
   • Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.

3. Prepare the Broccoli and French Fries:

   • Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling salted water for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
   • Fry the frozen French fries according to package instructions until crispy. Set aside.

4. Bake the Chicken Wings:

   • Preheat your oven to medium-low heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
   • Place the marinated chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and crispy.

5. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan. Add the chicken broth, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.
   • Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the unsalted butter just before removing from heat, allowing it to melt and blend into the sauce.
   • Adjust seasoning as needed, and let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened.

6. Combine and Serve:

   • Once the chicken wings are baked, toss them with the prepared sauce until well-coated.
   • Arrange the wings on a serving platter. Serve with crispy French fries and blanched broccoli on the side.
