Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.333 cup soy sauce
- 0.333 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 0.333 cup sake
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 scallions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, removing any excess moisture. This helps them crisp up during cooking.
Step 3
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flip them over, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 4
While the wings are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes or until the glaze thickens slightly.
Step 6
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared glaze over the wings, tossing them gently to coat each piece evenly.
Step 7
Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions for garnish, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious Japanese chicken wings!
