Delicious and Crispy Chicken Wings: A Party Favorite
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 pound chicken wings
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1. Start by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Season the wings generously with salt and pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk the ingredients until they are well-blended.
3. Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate the wings for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
4. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Remove the wings from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 30 minutes, basting the wings with the reserved marinade halfway through the cooking time.
5. To get that irresistible crispy skin, switch the oven to broil and cook the wings for an additional 5–10 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. The high heat will help the skin become delightfully crispy.
6. Once the chicken wings are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and drizzle with any remaining glaze. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a visually appealing and flavorful presentation.
Notes
To complement the bold flavors of your chicken wings, consider serving them alongside a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch, blue cheese, or a tangy barbecue sauce. For a refreshing contrast, offer a crisp, cool coleslaw or a fresh salad. And don’t forget the all-important beverage pairing – chicken wings pair excellently with ice-cold beers, tangy lemonades, or even a smooth bourbon-based cocktail.
