Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, Chinese five-spice powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a resealable plastic bag or a large container.

Step 3

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken wings, reserving the other half for later. Seal the bag or cover the container, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove the wings from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the baking powder mixture evenly over the wings to help achieve a crispy texture.

Step 6

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.

Step 7

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

While the wings are baking, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over low heat. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened, ensuring it comes to a boil to make it safe to use.

Step 9

Once the wings are fully cooked, brush them with the thickened marinade for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 10

Garnish the wings with green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or as-is for a delicious, aromatic appetizer.
