DAD'S CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Stir the Chinese Marinade ingredients in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Let the marinade cool slightly.
• With a sharp knife separate the drumettes from the wingtips at the joint. Place all the pieces in a bowl or a deep pan and add the still-warm marinade. Stir to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and let the wings marinate for several hours, or overnight if possible, in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the wings on the cookie sheets. Brush liberally with the marinade. Roast for about 40 minutes, turning once, until the wings are cooked and crispy brown at the edges. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold as an appetizer or an entr e with a vegetable and steamed rice.

DAD'S ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450. Remove giblets, neck, liver and any other innards. Rinse chicken in cold water and pat dry.
• Place chicken in a foil lined baking dish.
• Coat chicken skin in oil. Rub with garlic powder, salt, black pepper and paprika.
• Cook for 20 minutes at 450. Lower the oven temperature to 400 and continue to cook for another hour or until the temperature of the chicken reads over 170 with a meat thermometer.
• Remember: DO NOT COVER CHICKEN WITH FOIL. This will keep the skin from crisping. Also the carcass of this chicken makes an excellent chicken soup base!
