Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow even cooking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to help them crisp up in the oven.
Arrange the chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer, leaving space between them. Brush them lightly with vegetable oil.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set it aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the prepared sauce mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Once the chicken wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the thickened sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy these Spicy Chinese Chicken Wings!
