  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar Cuts through the sweetness with a hint of tanginess.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Aromatic and flavorful.

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  2. Place chicken wings in a large zip-top bag or bowl, pour marinade over and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cooking
  1. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place marinated wings in a single layer.
  2. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 10 minutes.
  3. Brush a bit of leftover marinade over wings and broil on high for 2–3 minutes until caramelized.
  4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Tips include adding spicy elements like sriracha, fruity juices for variations, grilling instead of baking, and dietary swaps for gluten-free options.
