Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 2 1/2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Method

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger; blend until the mixture is smooth.
  • Trim the tips off the wings and remove any excess skin or fat.
  • Place trimmed wings in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag and add the mixture from the blender; marinate, refrigerated, for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. and arrange wings on a rack over a baking pan.
  • Sprinkle with half of the sesame seeds and bake for 20 minutes, basting with a bit of marinade after 10 minutes; turn wings over, baste with the remaining marinade and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds.
  • Continue baking for another 25 minutes or until browned and sizzling.
  • If you prefer crisper wings, pop wings under the broiler for a minute or two.
