Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Wings
Rinse the chicken wings thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure the wings crisp properly during cooking. Trim off any excess skin or fat using kitchen scissors (if necessary).
Tip: Drying the wings helps the marinade adhere better and ensures an even browning during cooking.
Make the Marinade
Combine the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and finely chopped garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk the mixture until smooth and well-mixed.
Tip: Use freshly minced garlic for a bold, aromatic flavor in the marinade.
Marinate the Wings:
Place the dried chicken wings into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each wing is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Tip: For a richer taste, periodically stir the wings in the marinade while they rest.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, pour enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan generously. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 180°C (350°F). To test, drop a small drop of the marinade into the oil - it should sizzle immediately.
Tip: Maintain medium-high heat to prevent the wings from burning while ensuring they cook evenly.
Cook the Chicken Wings
Carefully place the marinated chicken wings into the hot oil, not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the wings for about 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer for the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Tip: Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature and lead to uneven cooking.
Glaze the Wings
Once the wings are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the remaining marinade into the pan and toss the wings in the glaze, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the wings.
Tip: Keep stirring the wings in the glaze to prevent the honey from burning and ensure an even coat.
Serve the Wings
Transfer the glazed chicken wings to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or fresh chopped parsley for garnish (if desired). Serve immediately.
Tip: Pair the wings with a fresh side salad or dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese for a complete meal.
