Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 lbs (about 1 kg) chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda — this helps crisp the skin)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder or paprika
For the Sticky Sesame Sauce:
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey (or brown sugar)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional but recommended)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- 1–2 green onions, sliced for garnish
How to Make Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings
Step 1: Prep and Bake the Wings
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll get.
- In a bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
- Arrange wings on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Air Fryer Option: Cook wings at 380°F (193°C) for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway through.
