Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.25 pounds chicken wings
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Finishing Ingredients:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Rinse 2 ¼ pounds chicken wings under cold water. Pat them completely dry with paper towels. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper across the wings.
- Mix ½ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a medium bowl. Whisk until ingredients combine smoothly.
- Pour entire marinade over chicken wings. Ensure each wing gets evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for minimum 1 hour, allowing flavors to penetrate deeply.
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place wire rack on top of foil. Remove wings from marinade, letting excess drip off.
- Arrange wings in single layer on wire rack. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, brush wings with reserved marinade for extra flavor.
- Switch oven to broil. Cook wings for additional 5-7 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Crispy skin develops during this high-heat stage.
- Remove wings from oven. Drizzle with remaining glaze. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped green onions and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds across top for fresh garnish.
Notes
- Pat the wings completely dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin and better marinade absorption.
- Marinate the wings for at least an hour, but overnight creates deeper flavor penetration and more tender meat.
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to help air circulate around the wings, creating more even crispiness.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain the savory depth.
