Sweet and Spicy Oven-Roasted Chicken Wings

Ingredients

- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven
- Set your oven to 400°F. Allow it to fully preheat, ensuring even cooking.

2. Prepare the marinade
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Sriracha chili sauce, soy sauce, and ground cumin. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.

3. Marinate the chicken wings
- Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

4. Arrange the wings for baking
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This allows air to circulate around the wings, ensuring even cooking. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the rack. Discard any remaining marinade.

5. Roast in the oven
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the wings for 30 minutes, turning them once halfway through. The wings should be golden brown and crisp.

6. Finalize and serve
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them hot as a snack or appetizer!
