Sticky Honey Sesame Chicken Wings

When it comes to wings, I don’t like to over-season them and destroy the already perfect flavours they have.

And this marinade is so popular at parties, gatherings, and even just at home with the family and causes severe finger-licking-after-every-bite. Not classy. But who cares when every else is doing the same thing?

Creating this marinade was simple – yet incredible. The aromas of soy plus sweet soy, along with the honey and intermingled with garlic is slightly intoxicating and one of our favourite ways to prepare and eat wings.

And you can either marinade for a couple of hours — or cover and leave in the refrigerator to marinade over night for a deeper flavour. I’ve done both, and to be completely honest with you, I love both ways.

There’s something about sticky chicken. Biting into a wing so tender and juicy on the inside; baked to golden perfection on the outside; covered the most amazing flavours that set off some crazy fireworks in your mouth. Like Chinese New Year.

And sprinkling extra sesame seeds over them for an extra nuttiness that triggers off the honey in a super special way.

Serve these over steamed vegetables; with steamed rice; or enjoy as they are.

Especially with this sauce. You won’t miss anything more on your plate!
