Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 stalk green onion
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. This setup helps the wings cook evenly and ensures a crispy texture.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Season the wings with salt and black pepper, ensuring they're evenly coated.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and optional sriracha. Mix until the honey fully dissolves and the marinade is well-blended.
Pour half of the marinade over the chicken wings, reserving the other half for later. Toss the wings to coat them thoroughly, then let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the oven.
Arrange the marinated wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Brush any remaining marinade from the bowl onto the wings.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over, baste them with some of the reserved marinade, and bake for another 20-25 minutes until they're golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
While the wings bake, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly into a glaze.
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately brush them with the thickened glaze. Toss to coat evenly for an extra sticky and flavorful finish.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and garnish with thinly sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the honey ginger chicken wings warm as an appetizer, snack, or part of a main dish. Enjoy their sweet and savory goodness!
