Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or nonstick spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the wings with vegetable oil and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the wings out in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the soy glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the soy glaze over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the glaze becomes sticky and slightly caramelized.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm.
