Ingredients

• 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings split at the joints and tips removed
• 2 tablespoons Chinese Five Spice Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 scallions thinly sliced

Equipment

• 1 Large mixing bowl For tossing the wings with marinade
• 1 Sheet Pan Large rimmed pan for baking
• 1 wire rack Optional, helps the skin crisp
• 1 parchment paper or foil For easy cleanup
• 1 Small Saucepan For the glaze
• 1 whisk For smoothing the cornstarch slurry
• 1 Pastry brush Optional, for glazing

Method

 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Place a wire rack on the pan if you have one.
2. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels, then place them in a large bowl.
3. Add the Chinese Five Spice Infused Olive Oil Blend, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
4. Let the wings sit for 10 minutes while the oven finishes heating, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, flip the wings, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until browned and cooked through.
6. While the wings bake, stir the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth, then warm the mixture in a small saucepan with any leftover marinade until it thickens slightly into a light glaze.
7. Brush or toss the hot wings with the glaze, then return them to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until sticky and glossy.
8. Finish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, then serve hot.

Notes

For the crispiest texture, keep the wings in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan. If you like a sweeter finish, add an extra teaspoon of honey to the glaze. This recipe works best with fresh ginger and minced garlic for the brightest flavor.

Recipe Tips

Pat the wings dry before tossing them with the marinade so the skin roasts up crisp instead of steaming. If you want extra color, broil the wings for a minute or two at the end, watching closely so the glaze stays glossy and rich.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wings with steamed jasmine rice, crunchy cucumber salad, or a platter of sliced scallions and lime wedges. They also work well as a party appetizer or the centerpiece for an easy weekend dinner.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a sheet pan in a hot oven until warmed through and the skin firms back up.

Variations

Swap honey for brown sugar if you want a deeper glaze, or add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a little extra kick. You can also finish the wings with toasted sesame seeds for more crunch and aroma.
