Sweet sticky chicken wings are a crowd-pleaser that combines the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. Here’s a simple recipe to make these delicious wings that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well mixed.
- Marinate the Wings:
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavor.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup allows the wings to cook evenly and become crispy.
- Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the marinated wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Reserve the leftover marinade for later. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Glaze the Wings:
- While the wings are baking, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens into a glaze, about 5-7 minutes.
- Coat the Wings:
- After the initial 20 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven and brush them with the prepared glaze. Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are caramelized and sticky.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For an extra crispy texture, you can broil the wings for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Enjoy your sweet sticky chicken wings as an appetizer, snack, or main dish. They are perfect for game days, parties, or simply a delicious family dinner. Happy cooking!
