Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 1 dozen Chicken wings (raw)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- ½ teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- ¼ teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon Water
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Season: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper evenly. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Meanwhile, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. When the sauce is boiling, add the slurry and stir continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Bake and Baste: Bake the seasoned wings for 30 minutes. Remove the wings from the oven and lightly baste them with the prepared honey soy sauce. This will add moisture and flavor to the wings before finishing cooking.
- Finish Baking: Return the basted wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. This final bake time ensures the wings become sticky and caramelized with the sauce.
- Toss and Garnish: Once baked, place the wings and the remaining sauce in a bowl. Toss to coat the wings evenly in the sticky glaze. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty crunch and visual appeal.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Make sure to toss the wings thoroughly in the sauce to ensure every piece is coated.
- Adjust the level of honey for sweetness according to your preference.
- Can be served with a side of steamed rice or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
