🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Minced ginger
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.

2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder until evenly coated.

3. Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they have space between them for proper air circulation.

4. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

5. While the wings bake, prepare the sesame glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well to mix.

6. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the saucepan, stirring constantly, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the glaze from the heat and set it aside.

7. Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sesame glaze over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

8. Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
