Sticky Honey-Soy Chicken Wings

By mahto

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup low sodium soy sauce,
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup honey
• Sesame seeds, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse chicken wings and pat dry. Remove tip and discard; separate each wing at the joint into 2 pieces. Place wings in a shallow dish and pour over the soy sauce, ginger, cilantro, garlic, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat; marinate, refrigerated, for 2 hours.

Remove wings from marinade and pat dry; season with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter in the olive oil. When the butter stops foaming, add the honey and chicken wings and fry until browned on each side, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking the wings, turning them over often to coat them as the glaze reduces. Cook until the wings are sticky and cooked through. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
