Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.333 cup mirin
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the teriyaki glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/3 cup of mirin, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and the remaining grated ginger. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water until smooth. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Place the wings in a large bowl and pour the teriyaki glaze over them, tossing to coat evenly.
Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side if desired.
