Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If desired, separate the drumettes from the wingettes for easier handling.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes (if you prefer some heat).

Step 3

Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the wings to a sealable plastic bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, ideally, overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Reserve the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over using tongs. Brush them with the reserved marinade and return them to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

For extra caramelization, turn on the broiler for the final 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Serve the chicken wings hot as an appetizer or alongside steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
