Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken wings
- Salt and pepper to season
- 2 tablespoons melted butter dairy free or regular
For the honey garlic sauce:
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken wings by cutting them at the joint and discarding the wing tips. Line a large baking tray with baking paper or aluminium foil and place a wire rack on top. Place the chicken wings on the rack, season with salt and pepper and place into the fridge uncovered for a minimum of one hour or overnight to allow the wings to dry out.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C and remove the wings from the fridge. Brush the tops of the wings with melted butter and place in the oven to bake for 40-45 minutes. At about the halfway point, open the oven to allow the steam to escape.
- When the wings are nearly done, prepare the sauce. Place all of the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan except for the sesame seeds and bring to a boil. Let the sauce simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Once the chicken wings are crispy and golden and the internal temperature is 74°C/165°F, remove them from the oven. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl and pour over the prepared sauce. Toss in the sesame seeds and mix until all of the wings are coated.
- Serve the wings immediately with any excess sauce from the bowl on the side for dipping or poured over the top.
