Lacquered Chicken Wings

12 large chicken wings
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Black pepper

Cut off wing tips with a sharp, heavy knife and discard. Cut wings into pieces, separating them at the joints. Place the wings in a shallow roasting pan.

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and a liberal grinding of black pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken, coating it well. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn each piece with tongs. (For a more elegant look, transfer wings to a wire rack at this point.)

Bake an additional 30 minutes. Turn again and bake for 15 minutes longer. The wings will be a rich dark brown and very tender. Serve.
