Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy texture, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add olive oil and black pepper to the bowl with the wings. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack over the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir occasionally until the mixture starts to simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the honey garlic mixture while stirring continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the oven and place in a clean mixing bowl.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until they are thoroughly coated.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium honey garlic wings!
