Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top if available; this helps the chicken wings cook more evenly.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Lay them on the wire rack and drizzle with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with black pepper, ensuring each wing is lightly coated.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden, crispy, and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the lemon-soy glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering glaze, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the chicken wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon-soy glaze over the wings and toss well to coat each piece evenly.
Place the glazed wings back on the baking sheet and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a fresh, finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tangy, savory Lemon Soy Chicken Wings!
