Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the foil to allow for even cooking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade and glaze.
Pour half of the sauce over the chicken wings and toss to ensure they are evenly coated. Reserve the remaining half of the sauce for glazing later.
Place the coated chicken wings onto the wire rack on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip them over and brush them generously with some of the reserved sauce.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes, then remove the wings from the oven and brush them again with the remaining sauce.
Place the wings back into the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Once caramelized and sticky, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chicken wings with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish before serving.
