Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set a wire rack on top. Lightly oil the rack to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade. Combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Arrange the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, making sure there is some space between each one for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then turn each wing over and brush with additional marinade. Bake for another 15 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Optional: For extra stickiness, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan, bring it to a boil, and simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Brush the sauce over the wings before serving.
Remove wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
Serve warm as an appetizer or main course and enjoy!
