Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the sheet. This will allow the chicken wings to cook evenly and crisp up nicely.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack.

Step 3

Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. This should take 2-3 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Return the coated chicken wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 10 minutes. This step helps the sauce caramelize and adhere to the wings.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mom's Teriyaki Chicken Wings!
