Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and chili flakes (if using). Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan while whisking constantly. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens into a shiny glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through.
After 20 minutes, use a pastry brush to coat the wings generously with the prepared glaze. Return the wings to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil and cook the wings for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Transfer the wings to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy these Glazed Finger Wings with extra napkins for the irresistible stickiness!
