Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top for even crisping.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl.
Season the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Toss to coat evenly, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, orange zest, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering glaze, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a clean mixing bowl.
Pour the sticky ginger orange glaze over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
Transfer the glazed wings to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
