Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rinse the chicken wings, cut off the wing tips (discard or save for soup), and cut the wings in half. Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil, preferably heavy duty foil. Bake the wings in a single layer for 15 minutes. Remove the fat (pour it out or sop it up with paper towels), turn over the wings, and bake for another 15 minutes.
While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce. Mix all the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Remove any fat still in the pan. Baste the wings on the top surface with the sauce and cook for 10 minutes. Baste again and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn the wings over, baste, and cook for 5 minutes. Baste once more and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the wings are browned and glazed. Most of the liquid will have evaporated.
Serve the wings immediately or let them sit for up to two hours before eating. Refrigerate leftovers, if there are any!
