    My family thought this was tasty....but like the others, the recipe did not thicken as stated. If I make it again, I will add 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch to the cold marinade before baking to thicken it up.

    We made this Tuesday in our Middle School Cooking class, it was easy and so very tasty. The kids loved it and it is easy enough to do at home. We did use Drumsticks instead of wings (wings were MIO due to the Superbowl). They turned out great..

    The taste was good BUT the sauce was soupy , not a glaze and I cooked it at 475 degrees after reading the above comments.

    So not impressed. No glaze developed... Left it in the over for longer, as the drumsticks weren't cooked at 30 minutes. Still nothing :/

    Definitely 475. I don't think you could get a nice glaze at 375 in 30 minutes. I needed an additional 5 minutes cooking time to really get the glaze I wanted.

    Great flavor and easy! Will definitely make again!

    I have the original magazine (Jan/Feb 2011 Everyday Food) and the temp listed is 475 so I suspect that is correct. They are in process here, so will review more when we have a chance to 'taste-test' :)

    I suggest using a zip-lock bag for the marinade, closer contact with the chicken wings. The recipe does say 1/4 cup soy sauce. But...what a mistake , clearly 100 degrees over for the oven! Someone from the website should correct this. It does make me reluctant to use any other recipes from the site. Also, her voice is truly annoying!

    Another confusion: the recipe states 1/4 soy sauce and Sarah says 1 1/4. Please clarify.

    This recipe states an oven temp of 475 degrees, Sarah states 375 degrees. Clarification please.

    This is a great and fast recipe. it's our monday night favrite. I use boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of wings. I like hot stuff, so I add extra sriracha sauce. It's also great paired with rice.
