Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake (or dry sherry)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
While wings bake, make the teriyaki glaze: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once wings are done, transfer to a large bowl. Pour the teriyaki glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer glazed wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra crispiness, let the wings sit uncovered in the fridge for 1 hour after coating with baking powder.
Leftover wings can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
