Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili sauce (optional)
- 2 stalks Scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and optional sriracha. Mix thoroughly to form the marinade.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. If you'd like crispier skin, lightly coat the wings with cornstarch and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each wing is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the rack, shaking off any excess marinade. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Meanwhile, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush with the thickened marinade using a pastry brush.
Garnish the wings with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
