Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for even air circulation around the chicken wings.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness. Sprinkle the wings evenly with salt, black pepper, and baking powder, then toss to coat.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden and crisp.
While the chicken wings are baking, prepare the sticky sesame glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha sauce. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Once the chicken wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sticky sesame glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings!
