Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1.5 tbsp Chili paste (sambal oelek)
• 1 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 tsp Coriander powder
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 2 Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, lime juice, chili paste, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Whisk until the marinade is well combined.

Step 2

Add the chicken wings to the bowl, coating them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, reserving any leftover marinade.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then flip the wings over and brush them with the reserved marinade.

Step 6

Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 7

If desired, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking for extra caramelization and crispiness.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Pair them with steamed rice or eat as a delicious appetizer.
