Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to ensure crispy wings.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour half of the marinade over the chicken wings and toss to coat. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later.
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering marinade. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Remove the baked chicken wings from the oven and brush them generously with the thickened sauce.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions as garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
