Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Sriracha (if using). Whisk until well blended.
Step 2
Place the chicken wings in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag (or cover the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared rack.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the wings should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
While the wings are baking, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 7
After the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the reduced marinade over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Step 8
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
