Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake or dry sherry
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Arrange on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, make teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk into the simmering sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
Transfer baked wings to a large bowl. Pour teriyaki sauce over wings and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot.
Tips
For extra crispy wings, pat dry thoroughly and refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour before baking.
Sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Leftover wings can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
