• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

• 2 stalks, chopped Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Lightly coat a large oven-safe skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for about 3 minutes until onion is translucent.

Step 5

Push the onions and garlic to the sides of the skillet, place the chicken wings in the center, and sear for 2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, ground black pepper, and ground ginger.

Step 7

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken wings in the skillet.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat and cover the skillet with aluminum foil.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, uncovering for the last 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and glaze the wings.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Serve the braised chicken wings hot and enjoy your low-fat meal.
