Ingredients
Scale
- 30 chicken wings
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tbsps mirin
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preparation: Meticulously blot chicken wings with kitchen towels to eliminate moisture, guaranteeing a dramatically crisp outer layer.
- Seasoning: Blend zesty spices in a mixing bowl, thoroughly massaging the aromatic rub into each wing, ensuring comprehensive flavor infusion.
- Roasting Preparation: Arrange wings in a single strategic layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzling with premium olive oil to enhance texture and taste.
- Initial Cooking: Roast wings in a preheated oven at 425°F, rotating the tray midway to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration and consistent crispness.
- Glaze Creation: Simultaneously craft a luxurious honey garlic reduction in a saucepan, simmering ingredients until the mixture transforms into a thick, glossy sauce.
- Finishing Touches: Brush wings generously with the caramelized glaze, returning to oven for final browning and activating broiler briefly to create an irresistibly crisp, slightly charred exterior.
- Serving: Rest wings momentarily, tossing in remaining sauce to intensify flavor profile, then plate immediately while still piping hot and glistening with delectable caramelized coating.
Notes
- Moisture Removal Technique: Blot chicken wings thoroughly with clean kitchen towels to eliminate excess moisture, guaranteeing an ultra-crispy exterior during roasting.
- Seasoning Application Method: Massage spice blend and olive oil directly into wings, ensuring deep flavor penetration and comprehensive coating.
- Baking Sheet Strategy: Arrange wings in a single, non-overlapping layer on parchment-lined sheet for consistent golden-brown coloration and crisp edges.
- Caramelization Pro Tip: Use broiler for final 2-3 minutes to develop irresistibly crisp, slightly charred exterior that elevates overall wing texture and flavor profile.
