Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.333 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet if you have one to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
2. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which will help them crisp up during baking.
Step 3
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir the marinade until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4
4. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are fully coated. Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, or you can refrigerate them for up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 5
5. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet (or wire rack). Discard excess marinade.
Step 6
6. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them over halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
Step 7
7. Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 8
8. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, and enjoy Nana's delicious chicken wings!
