Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings
Description
In this recipe, chicken wings are seasoned simply with oil, salt, and black pepper, then baked on a rack to allow even heat circulation, resulting in crispy skin after 45 to 50 minutes at 400°F. Meanwhile, a sweet and sour sauce is prepared by cooking ketchup with soy sauce, sriracha, water, cornstarch, and sugar until thickened. Once cooked, the wings are coated in the sauce for a glossy, flavorful finish and sprinkled with white sesame seeds for added crunch.
The method balances the savory baked texture of the wings with the bright and sticky qualities of the sauce. This recipe works well as an appetizer or main dish where a flavorful but approachable wing preparation is desired.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs (750g) chicken wing including drumettes and middle sections
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 dashes black pepper ground
- white sesame
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C).
- Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer them to a large bowl and toss with the oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, then place a baking rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
- Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the wings are fully cooked and crispy, about 45 to 50 minutes. Be sure to check on them periodically.
- Mix all the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce in a saucepan. Heat the mixture until it thickens and begins to bubble slightly. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- When the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and add it to the sweet and sour sauce. Toss a few times to coat well. Top the chicken wings with white sesame seeds and serve immediately.
