Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin. Toss wings with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
- Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap. Bake for 25 minutes until skin starts to crisp and wings are nearly cooked through.
- While wings bake, make the teriyaki glaze. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, white wine, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Let the glaze simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. It should reduce by about half. Remove from heat.
- Remove wings from oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm glaze over the wings and toss until all pieces are well coated.
- Return glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized, and the wings are fully cooked through.
- Let wings rest for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Wings can be prepared through step 3 earlier in the day and glazed just before serving. Store leftover wings in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes to crisp them back up. For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
