Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with salt and black pepper, then toss them with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to shimmer.
Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding: Sear the chicken wings in the wok for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden and lightly crisp. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add garlic (finely minced) and ginger (grated) to the wok. Sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, ensuring they do not burn.
Add the soy sauce, honey, red chili flakes, and 2 tablespoons of water to the wok. Stir and simmer for 1-2 minutes to combine and slightly thicken the sauce.
Return the chicken wings to the wok and toss them thoroughly in the sauce to ensure they are evenly coated.
Allow the wings to cook in the sauce for another 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to a sticky glaze and the wings are fully cooked through.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the wings and toss once more for added brightness.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy your Wok Tossed Honey Soy and Chili Chicken Wings!
