Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for baking sheet, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. If desired, lightly grease the sheet with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
After 20 minutes, remove the chicken wings from the oven and carefully flip them over. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, transfer the sauce mixture to a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the thickened sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Place the saucy wings on a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy your San Francisco Chicken Wings!
