Sesame Chicken Wings

Crispy sesame chicken wings coated in a savory and slightly sweet sauce, making them a perfect high-protein snack or appetizer. These wings are easy to prepare and are sure to impress with their nutty flavor and crunchy texture.

Ingredients

• Chicken wings - 500 grams
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Sesame oil - 15 ml
• Honey - 15 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame seeds - 30 grams
• Cornstarch - 40 grams
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, sliced (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. While the wings are marinating, spread the cornstarch on a plate. Remove the wings from the marinade and dredge them in cornstarch until fully coated.
5. Place the coated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
7. In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the wings to toast them slightly.
8. Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before garnishing with sliced green onions.
