Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (drumettes and flats separated, skin-on for best crispiness)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 34 stalks green onions, sliced thinly (white and green parts separated)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thicker glaze)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if available.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper. Do not add salt as soy sauce provides saltiness.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. If a thicker glaze is desired, stir together cornstarch and water, then slowly whisk into the simmering sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until thick and glossy.
  5. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Brush the wings generously with the teriyaki glaze. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes to caramelize the sauce, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove wings from oven and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle the sliced green onions (white parts early for mild bite, green parts at the end for color) over the top. Add toasted sesame seeds if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the crispy skin with sticky glaze and fresh onion crunch.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly for crispy skin. Use a wire rack for even roasting or flip wings halfway if no rack is available. Watch glaze closely when caramelizing to avoid burning. Broil 1-2 minutes at the end if wings need extra crispiness. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Add chili garlic sauce or cayenne for spicy variation.
