Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Marinate the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Bake the Wings: Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- Glaze the Wings: In the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the remaining marinade over the wings for extra flavor and stickiness.
- Serve: Once done, remove the wings from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve hot.
