Ingredients
  

For the Wings:
  • 3 pounds chicken wings (tips removed and split at the joint)
  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger or fresh grated ginger root
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, water, brown sugar, dry mustard, ground ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk everything together until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  2. Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but ideally, let them marinate for 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for achieving crispy wings while allowing the marinade to caramelize beautifully.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This will help the wings cook evenly and get crispy all around.
  5. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
  6. For an extra layer of flavor, you can brush the wings with additional marinade during the last 5 minutes of baking. Once done, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, consider broiling them for the last few minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste.
