Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce (ensure gluten-free if needed)
• 0.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
• 2 Green onions, thinly sliced (garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by greasing it lightly with vegetable oil or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 4

While the wings are baking, make the dairy-free teriyaki sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the simmering sauce and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the sauce from heat and set it aside.

Step 7

Once the chicken wings are finished baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Optional: Place the sauced wings back onto the baking sheet and broil them on high for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce slightly, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 9

Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as an appetizer or pair with rice and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
