# What You Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2.5 lbs chicken wings, tips removed, flats and drumettes separated
→ Marinade & Sauce
02 - 1/3 cup soy sauce
03 - 1/4 cup honey
04 - 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
05 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
06 - 2 tbsp rice vinegar
07 - 2 tbsp sesame oil
08 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
09 - 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
10 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
11 - 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
→ Garnish
12 - 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
13 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and chili flakes until smooth and fully combined.
03 - Add the chicken wings to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to coat every piece evenly. Remove and reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade separately for glazing later.
04 - Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 25 minutes to begin rendering fat and developing initial color.
05 - Remove wings from the oven and brush generously with the reserved marinade. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway through and brushing again, until wings are deeply caramelized and sticky.
06 - Transfer finished wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
