Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
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 rack with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil to coat.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the soy-sesame glaze. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the simmering sauce and stir until the glaze thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the soy-sesame glaze over the wings and toss them until they’re evenly coated.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the wings for added flavor and texture. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious Soy Sesame Baked Wings!
