Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this dish:

• Sesame seeds – optional but adds a nice nutty flavor. You can also add a bit of sesame oil to the sauce for extra flavor.

Recipe Tips

• To achieve perfectly browned wings and a caramelized sauce, ensure your oven is hot. If you want more browning, broil the wings for a few minutes at the end of cooking.
• For a thicker glaze, remove the chicken after baking and simmer the sauce in a pan until reduced and thickened. Add butter for extra richness.
• Marinate the chicken in the sauce ahead of time for more flavor.
• If you prefer more sauce, double the recipe and reduce the sauce after baking if needed.
