Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If desired, separate the drumettes from the wingettes for easier handling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes (if you prefer some heat).
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the wings to a sealable plastic bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, ideally, overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over using tongs. Brush them with the reserved marinade and return them to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For extra caramelization, turn on the broiler for the final 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the chicken wings hot as an appetizer or alongside steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
