Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs chicken wings
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional for heat)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the sheet if available.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha (if using). Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for glazing later. Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the remaining marinade. Toss well to coat the wings evenly.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best results.

Step 5

Remove the wings from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid, and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared wire rack or baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the simmering marinade to thicken it. Stir constantly until the glaze reaches a sticky consistency, then remove from heat.

Step 9

Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the thickened glaze. Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.

Step 11

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
