Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place an oven-safe wire rack on top.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings bake, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the sauce and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the glaze reaches a rich, sticky consistency.
Once the chicken wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them into a large bowl. Pour the balsamic glaze over the wings and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Transfer the glazed wings to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
