Ingredients
3 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake (or dry sherry)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
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 in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
While wings bake, make teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir into the sauce and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer baked wings to a large bowl. Pour teriyaki sauce over and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot.
Tips
For extra crispiness, pat wings dry and refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour before baking.
Double the sauce if you like extra for dipping.
Leftover wings can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven.
