Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 0.33 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Pour the marinade over the chicken wings in the mixing bowl. Toss the wings to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and place them on the grill. Discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the wings for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165°F (74°C). Turn occasionally to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
Remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
Serve the grilled ginger chicken wings hot and enjoy!
