Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the chicken wings by rinsing under cold water and patting dry with paper towels. If not already separated, use a sharp knife to cut the wings into drumettes and flats. Discard the wing tips or save them for stock.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken wings into the bowl with the marinade. Toss to ensure all the wings are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the wire rack, allowing space between each wing for even cooking. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip each wing over and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Optional: For extra crispiness, broil the wings on high for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
