Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings (tips removed and separated into drummettes and wings)
• 2 cloves garlic, smashes
• 1 1/2 inch piece ginger, coarsely chopped
• 1 lime, zested and squeezed
• 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp chili garlic sauce
• 2 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 3 Tbsp sesame oil
• sliced scallions, lime wedges and sesame seeds for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Whisk all the ingredients (expect wings and garnish) together in a bowl.
Place the chicken wings in a large Ziploc bag and pour marinade over.
Seal and turn several times to coat.
Chill at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal.
The following day preheat oven to 350 degrees and place chicken wings on a non-stick foil lined sheet sheet tray, reserving marinade.
Bake for 1 hour, or until cooked though and browned. Turn the wings a couple times as they cook to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
Strain the reserved marinade into a saucepan over med/high heat.. Add ½ cup water to the pan and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes. Start with ½ cup water and add more if the sauce gets too thick.
Sprinkle the chicken wings with sesame seeds and scallions and serve with sauce and lime wedges.
