Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the chicken wings using a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and red chili flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for best flavor.

Step 4

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 wire rack with cooking spray or oil.

Step 5

Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer.

Step 6

Transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then add it to the saucepan. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Step 8

Brush the thickened glaze over the wings during the last 5 minutes of baking for additional flavor.

Step 9

Remove the chicken wings from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
