Sticky Chicken Wings
These chicken wings are not just tasty; they’re sticky, sweet, and savory—a perfect combination that’s hard to resist!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If you like, you can cut off the wing tips for a cleaner presentation.
- Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil. This will create a sticky and flavorful marinade!
- Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl, making sure they are well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top of the sheet.
- Bake the Wings: Take the wings out of the marinade and place them on the wire rack in a single layer. Reserve the leftover marinade. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Glaze the Wings: While the wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. This will be your glaze.
- Finish the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, brush them generously with the thickened glaze and return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot. Enjoy!
These Sticky Chicken Wings are guaranteed to be a hit! With their mouthwatering glaze and tender meat, they’re perfect for any occasion. Happy cooking!
