Sweet honey and pungent bagoong is a blend of flavors we’d last expect on a pair of chicken wings. I saw these honey bagoong chicken wings on Pepper.ph the other day and with such a weird combination, I just had to try them for myself. In the original recipe, the wings were done ala Bonchon, breaded, deep-fried and drizzled with the bagoong sauce. I was, however, not in the mood to tackle sizzling oil splattering on my face and our freshly-painted kitchen walls so I decided to do the chicken in the oven instead.
I marinated the drumettes in the honey-bagoong mixture for about 5 hours and baked them in the oven for about 35 minutes while occasionally basting with the glaze. Oh mah good Jesus! They were unbelievably delicious, the interplay of sweet and salty was like a party in my mouth. These honey bagoong chicken wings are definitely a culinary adventure you shouldn’t miss. Enjoy!
