Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
- Place the chicken wings in the marinade, ensuring each wing is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally 2-4 hours for deeper flavor penetration.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400-425°F. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove wings from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
- Arrange the wings on the grill, placing them with some space between each piece to ensure even cooking. Grill for 10-12 minutes on one side.
- Flip the wings and baste with reserved marinade. Continue grilling for another 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crispy and caramelized.
- Remove wings from the grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy hot.
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: The longer you marinate (2-4 hours is ideal), the more intense and deep the flavor will be. If you're short on time, even 30 minutes can make a difference.
- Grill Temperature Matters: Maintain a consistent medium-high heat around 400-425°F to ensure crispy skin and even cooking.
- Prevent Sticking: Always clean and oil your grill grates before cooking to prevent the wings from tearing.
- Check Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach 165°F for food safety and perfect doneness.
- Let Them Rest: Allow wings to rest for 3-5 minutes after grilling to help redistribute juices and keep the meat tender.
- Optional Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
