Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Flip the wings and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven.
- Pour the honey garlic glaze over the hot wings and toss to coat them evenly.
- Return the glazed wings to the oven for 5 minutes to let the glaze caramelize.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can bake them on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
- Freshly grated ginger provides the best flavor.
