Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Directions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken Wings
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, fresh ginger, and chili flakes if desired. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the wings to absorb the bold flavors.
Step 2: Bake the Wings
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the baking sheet, reserving any extra marinade. Bake for 25 minutes, then brush with the reserved marinade and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the wings are golden and caramelized.
Step 3: Broil for Extra Crispiness
For a crispier finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on the wings to avoid burning. This step will help the wings develop a sticky glaze and a slightly charred edge that enhances the overall flavor.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Transfer the Asian-style chicken wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor and color. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sriracha mayo or sweet chili sauce.
