Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 pieces green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the chicken wings in batches, about 8-10 minutes per batch, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth to create a slurry. Slowly pour this into the saucepan, stirring constantly, and allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fried chicken wings to the saucepan and toss them gently until they are evenly coated with the sesame sauce.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sesame Chicken Wings!
