How to Serve Your Vampire Bat Wings
There’s no right or wrong way to serve these spooky wings, but I find that displaying them on a black platter or tray adds to the Halloween ambiance. Surround the platter with some fake spider webs and plastic spiders to take your presentation to the next level. If you have any Halloween-themed skewers, use those to make it easier for your guests to grab a wing while mingling.
Making Ahead and Storing
Planning a big party? No problem! These wings can be prepared in advance. Marinate them overnight and bake them just before your guests arrive for maximum freshness. If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare in my house), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven to maintain their crispy texture.
Halloween Graveyard Dirt Pudding Cup Recipe
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Plastic wrap
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
- Small saucepan
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha optional, for heat
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Black food coloring as needed
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Green onions chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir until well combined.
- Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl, making sure each wing is thoroughly coated in the marinade. For the ultimate spooky effect, add in a few drops of black food coloring. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the Oven: About 30 minutes before you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade and lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Reserve the leftover marinade for later. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking.
- Simmer the Sauce: While the wings are baking, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing it to reduce into a thick glaze.
- Glaze the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the reduced marinade. Return the wings to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let the glaze set.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
