Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Chicken wings
• 0.25 cups Soy sauce
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to ensure crispy wings.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 4

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken wings and toss to coat. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering marinade. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 9

Remove the baked chicken wings from the oven and brush them generously with the thickened sauce.

Step 10

Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Step 11

Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions as garnish.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
