Ingredients
  • 1 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Cayenne pepper
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C).
  2. 2
    Clean and cut 2-3 lbs of chicken wings into three parts: the drumette, the flat, and the wingtip.
  3. 3
    Discard the wingtips or save them for stock.
  4. 4
    In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds, and cayenne pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
  5. 5
    Add the chicken wings to the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. 6
    Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  7. 7
    Using tongs, place the marinated wings on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are slightly separated so they cook evenly.
  8. 8
    Bake for 60 minutes, turning the wings with tongs every 10 minutes to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
  9. 9
    Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes before serving to allow the glaze to set.

Note

Use a rimmed baking sheet (cookie pan) rather than a flat sheet pan to prevent the sugary marinade from dripping into the oven and causing smoke or mess.

For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but watch them closely to prevent burning due to the high sugar content.

Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your preferred heat level. Start with 1/2 tablespoon for a milder flavor.

Serve hot straight from the oven or at room temperature. Pairs well with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or a creamy blue cheese or ranch dipping sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
