Oven "fried" Chicken with Sweet and Spicy Glaze

Assalamualaikum!

Finalllllllyyyyyy done with exams! It felt like FOREVER! Okay..over. I was about to make sugar cookies but then my butter is still cold. SO it’s resting nicely on the heater. LOL! Just to speed up the process. I am one impatient baker!=P

Awhile ago, I had fried/baked chicken cravings! I came across Chef John’s Spicy Orange Chicken Wings and DING! A light bulb on top of my head went on.But then I didn't have marmalade or orange jam in my fridge...oh well..then I came across his other recipe called Clifton Springs Chicken Wings.So I made that instead. Since I wasn't so sure if I’m going to like it or not, I didn't really document the whole process. IT WAS DELISH! I used half of chicken and not just wings. Wings are not exactly my favorite.But nonetheless, I eat so much meat I am practically meatarian.=P
