Ingredients

2 lb (900 g) whole chicken wings
4 tbsp (60 ml) soy sauce
2 tbsp (30 ml) sesame oil
1 tbsp finely grated garlic
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Marinade:** In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, grated garlic, honey, brown sugar, ginger, rice vinegar, and ground black pepper until well combined.
2. **Marinate the Wings:** Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring each wing is well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor.
3. **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.
4. **Bake the Wings:** Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
5. **Garnish and Serve:** Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy hot.
