Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 0.25 cup Sake
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the marinade is well blended.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Reserve the marinade for basting.

Step 6

Place the chicken wings on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until the wings are cooked through and have a lightly charred, caramelized exterior. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) ensures they are fully cooked.

Step 7

While grilling, brush the chicken wings occasionally with the reserved marinade for extra flavor. Stop basting during the final few minutes of grilling to ensure the marinade cooks fully.

Step 8

Remove the chicken wings from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Japanese-style grilled chicken wings!
