Sticky Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs chicken wings
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent the wings from sticking.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. This mixture will be the deliciously sticky glaze for your chicken wings.
3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Season the wings with salt and pepper, then pour half of the sticky glaze over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
4. Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are in a single layer and not touching each other. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
5. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
6. While the wings are baking, pour the remaining sticky glaze into a small saucepan. Bring the glaze to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. This will intensify the flavors and create a glossy finish for the wings.
7. Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the oven and brush them with the thickened glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the wings for added crunch and flavor if desired.
8. Transfer the Sticky Chicken Wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a touch of freshness and color.
9. Serve the wings hot, with extra glaze on the side for dipping, and watch them disappear in no time.
Whether you’re serving these Sticky Chicken Wings as an appetizer or main dish, they are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
