These Zesty Glazed Chicken Wings are a delightful combination of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors, perfect for any gathering or a casual dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top.
Using a wire rack allows air to circulate around the wings, making them crispier.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then toss them in a mixing bowl with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Drying the wings helps them crisp up better during baking.
Arrange the wings on the prepared wire rack and bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Flipping the wings ensures even cooking and crispiness.
In a blender, combine rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, sriracha, and ginger. Blend until smooth.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level.
Transfer the glaze mixture to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the glaze from burning.
Toss the baked wings in the glaze until evenly coated.
Use a large bowl to ensure all wings are well coated.
Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
