Go ahead, lick your fingers. Our Sesame-Ginger Chicken Wings, fully flavored with sesame and ginger, are good cold, too—and great in a picnic basket. The marinade also makes a delicious dipping or stir-fry sauce—just bring to a boil and whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch.
Ingredients
3-1/2 pounds chicken wings, tips discarded, halved at the joint
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1-1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
- Arrange chicken wings in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the stock to a simmer; then stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Then pour over chicken, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 36-48 hours. Stir every 4 hours.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Remove wings from marinade, shake off excess, and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until deep golden brown.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and serve hot or at room temperature.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
