Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken wings
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 scallions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them on the wire rack. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sticky sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir occasionally until the sauce begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk this mixture into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside.
Once the wings are done cooking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sticky sauce over the wings and toss them until they are evenly coated.
Return the coated wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious sticky chicken wings!
