Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 stalks scallions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, dark brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken wings, reserving the other half for basting. Toss the wings to ensure they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 5

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 6

After 20 minutes, remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the reserved marinade. Flip the wings over, brush the other side, and return them to the oven.

Step 7

Bake for another 15-20 minutes, flipping and basting every 5 minutes, until the wings are glossy, caramelized, and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Mahogany Chicken Wings!
