Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings (900g)
- 4 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sriracha
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (cornflour in the UK)
- 1 tablespoon water
To garnish
- sesame seeds
- sliced green onion
Instructions
- In a large bowl or ziplock bag, place the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sriracha and honey and mix well.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade and coat them with the marinade. Cover the wings and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 390ºf / 200ºc.
- Place a large cooking rack on top of a large rimmed baking tray.
- Once the wings are ready, place the wings on the rack, leaving space between each one and place in the pre heated oven for 40 minutes. Transfer the marinade into a small sauce pot.
- After 20 minutes, flip the wings over so they cook evenly.
- Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
- 5 minutes before the wings are ready, put the marinade on a high heat and bring to the boil. As it is boiling, add the cornstarch and water mix to the sauce and stir until it has thickened.
- Take the wings out of the oven and baste them with the thickened sauce.
- Transfer the wings to a plate, sprinkle over sesame seeds and sliced green onion and serve.
Notes
- Don't marinate the wings for more than four hours or they can become soggy.
- Cook the wings on a rack over a rimmed baking tray. This helps them to get crispy all over and the tray catches any dripping juices so you don't have to clean your oven afterwards!
- Remember to flip the wings half way through cooking so that they are nice and crispy.
