Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 0.25 cup Sake
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the marinade is well blended.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Place the chicken wings on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until the wings are cooked through and have a lightly charred, caramelized exterior. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) ensures they are fully cooked.
While grilling, brush the chicken wings occasionally with the reserved marinade for extra flavor. Stop basting during the final few minutes of grilling to ensure the marinade cooks fully.
Remove the chicken wings from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the wings with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Japanese-style grilled chicken wings!
