Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the chicken wings using a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and red chili flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack with cooking spray or oil.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer.
Transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then add it to the saucepan. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Brush the thickened glaze over the wings during the last 5 minutes of baking for additional flavor.
Remove the chicken wings from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
