2. In a big bowl, mix remaining ingredients, except the honey.

I have to say that these are my favorite wings in a long time! :-) We really enjoyed the flavor; I think the 5 Spice Powder just kicks these up a notch! I can't wait to share these with my friends; I know they will love them too! I did cook mine on an indoor grill, due to weather, and they got a little 'done', but it was fine for us. Thanks for sharing, Boomette! Made for ZWT.

Used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of wings and marinated for 8 hours. The only tweak I made was to use sesame oil instead of vegetable oil to add another layer of flavor. Delicious! Will definitely make again.

I used just over a kilo of wings between 3 of us (I cut of the tips and froze them later for making stock) and left the other 2 halves intact and baked at 175C fan forced for 45 - 50 minutes, drizzling the honey every 15 minutes and the result was suculant tasty wings. Thank you Boomette, made for Everyday A Holiday.

Other than decreasing the cooking time, I wouldn't change a thing! Perfection! Perfect Superbowl wings. Thanks for sharing!
