American · Appetizer · 60 min total

These sticky, tangy-sweet chicken wings are glazed with a bright citrus sauce made from fresh orange and lemon juices, balanced with honey and soy sauce. Perfect for game day or a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
• 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
3. Bake wings for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
4. While wings bake, combine orange juice, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
5. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
6. When wings are done, transfer to a large bowl. Pour the citrus glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
7. Return glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
8. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, pat wings dry thoroughly before baking.
• You can substitute lime juice for lemon juice for a different citrus twist.
• Serve with extra glaze on the side for dipping.
• Leftover wings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
