Honey Sesame Chicken Wings



Ingredients:

  • 12 chicken wings (.6 kg)
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 t seasoned salt
  • 1/4 c honey
  • 1 1/2 T soy sauce
  • 1/2 t sesame oil
  • 1 T ginger paste 
  • 1/2 t garlic paste
  • 1 T sesame seeds
  • optional: 1-2 t kochujang (korean pepper paste)
  • 2-3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
(If you do not have access to ginger paste or garlic paste, you can make your own using a mortar and pestle)


Recipe:
  • Preheat oven to 200°C (~400°F)
  • Heat 2.5 cm (1") vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat.
  • In a bowl, season chicken wings with salt and season salt and mix to coat.
  • Fry chicken wings in preheated vegetable oil, cooking until crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Turn wings every couple minutes during cooking.
  • Meanwhile, make your marinade.  Combine honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger paste, garlic paste, and sesame seeds.  If you prefer spicy wings, add gochujang to taste.
  • Remove chicken wings from oil and place onto foil-covered baking sheet. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 2 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from oven and drizzle chicken wings with marinade, using about 1 t marinade per chicken wing.  Reserve excess marinade for after baking.
  • Bake chicken wings for about 5 minutes or until golden, then broil for 2 minutes until sesame seeds are slightly toasted.
  • Plate chicken wings and drizzle with remaining marinade. Garnish with chopped green onion.
  • Pairs well with steamed broccoli.  Any remaining marinade can be used on broccoli.
  • Eat and enjoy.
