Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the chicken wings. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place them on the prepared wire rack. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and brush them with the reserved marinade. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown, slightly sticky, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Optional: For extra caramelization, broil the wings on high for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
