How to Make Sticky Soy Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

1.5 pounds chicken wings
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and the marinade has caramelized to a sticky glaze.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips to Make Sticky Soy Chicken Wings

Variation (If Any)

You can add some chili flakes for a bit of heat or try using honey instead of brown sugar for a sweeter taste.
