Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 stalks scallions
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl and season with black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken wings and toss them to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.

Step 5

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering marinade until thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the wings are fully cooked and golden, remove them from the oven and toss them in the thickened sauce until evenly coated.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Toast the sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy Levi's Sesame Chicken Wings with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
