Instructions:

Prepare the Sauce: In a 3-quart saucepan, combine soy sauce, dry sherry, plum sauce, chopped green onions, minced garlic cloves, cider vinegar, and honey. Stir well.
-
Simmer the Sauce: Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
-
Marinate the Wings: While the sauce is cooling, prepare the chicken wings. Split the wings and discard the tips. Place the wing pieces in a large bowl or container suitable for marinating.
-
Pour the Sauce: Once the sauce has cooled, pour it over the chicken wings, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl or container and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors infuse into the wings.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
-
Prepare Baking Pans: Lightly oil two large shallow roasting pans to prevent sticking.
-
Bake the Wings: Drain the marinated wings, reserving the sauce. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared roasting pans. Bake them uncovered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting every 20 minutes with the reserved sauce. Rotate the pans halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. You can wrap and store them for up to 3 days if preparing in advance, or serve them immediately at room temperature.
-
