How to Make Honey Teriyaki Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds chicken wings or drummettes
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish
• 4 scallions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

• Put the wings in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish or 2-gallon zipper-top plastic bag. Stir the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and set aside.

• In a medium-size skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, add the garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the ketchup, soy sauce, and honey, and stir until blended. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool, then pour half the sauce over the wings, (it becomes the marinade) and refrigerate the other half. Turn the wings in the marinade to coat them well and cover the dish or seal the bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and pour the wings and marinade onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake chicken wings until cooked through, 35 to 45 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with the reserved sauce.

  *Do-Ahead Tip: At this point, you can let cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight, then reheat in a 325°F oven, covered with foil, for about 20 minutes.

• Remove the wings from the oven, arrange on a serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.
