Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 cup Hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks Scallions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Cooking oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup hoisin sauce, 0.25 cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove the wings from the oven after the initial bake. Use a pastry brush or spoon to generously coat them with the hoisin honey glaze on all sides.
Return the glazed wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes and the wings are fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve warm and enjoy!
