Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 2 pounds (907 grams) chicken wings

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Thickening and Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) ginger, grated
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar in a mixing bowl.
  2. Position chicken wings in a single layer within a baking dish, thoroughly coating each piece with the prepared marinade.
  3. Heat the oven to 400F (200C) and allow wings to marinate while the oven reaches temperature.
  4. Roast the wings for 45-50 minutes, rotating midway through cooking to ensure uniform browning and thorough cooking.
  5. Create a glossy glaze by combining water and cornstarch in a small saucepan, heating and stirring until the mixture transforms into a smooth, thickened consistency.
  6. Remove wings from the oven and generously brush with the prepared glaze.
  7. Activate the broiler and return wings to the oven for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to achieve a caramelized, golden exterior without burning.
  8. Transfer wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Marinate wings overnight for deeper flavor infusion, allowing sauce to penetrate meat thoroughly.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent wings from sticking and ease cleanup process.
  • Pat chicken wings dry before seasoning to ensure crispy exterior and better sauce adherence.
  • Adjust honey quantity for dietary preferences, substituting with maple syrup or agave for lower sugar content.
