Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 Scallions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour half of the marinade over the chicken wings and toss to coat. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the wings are baking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens into a glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
After the initial 20 minutes of baking, flip the wings over and brush them generously with the prepared glaze. Return to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, flipping and glazing them again halfway through.
Remove the chicken wings from the oven once they are caramelized and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy these sticky, flavorful caramelized chicken wings!
