Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with vegetable oil.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar to create the teriyaki marinade.

Step 4

Pour 3/4 of the marinade over the chicken wings in the mixing bowl, reserving the rest for later. Toss the wings to coat evenly. Allow them to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the prepared baking rack in a single layer, skin side up. Discard any leftover marinade in the bowl.

Step 6

Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic teriyaki glaze. Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering marinade, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the thickened teriyaki glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

Step 10

Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
