Combine all ingredients except the chicken wings in a small sauce pot. Warm the mixture until the sugar is dissolved. Take ⅓ of the mixture and pour it over the chicken wings in a bowl or a Ziploc bag. Marinate at least 2 hours—overnight is preferable.
The next day, place the marinated wings on a sheet tray lined with foil or parchment paper and bake at 400ºF. Cook them all the way through, approximately 15 minutes.
While the chicken wings are cooking, reduce the remainder of the glaze in a sauté pan until sticky. When you remove cooked wings from the oven, toss them in the glaze for extra delicious flavor.
