Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 Tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teapoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Teriyaki Sauce

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • ¾ teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a wire rack inside and spray the rack with cooking spray.
  • Rinse the wings and pat dry with paper towels. Toss the wings with the baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until coated.
  • Place the wings on the wire rack, leaving space so they are not touching.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for another 20 minutes. Flip once more and bake for 5 minutes until the wings are crispy and golden brown and cooked to at least 165℉.
  • While the wings are cooking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
  • Toss the wings in the sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

How to Cut Whole Chicken Wings
  1. Hold the wing with a paper towel for better grip, then find the knobby joint where the flat and drum meet. Cut through the joint to separate the drum and place it to the side.
  2. Find the joint between the wing tip and the flat, then cut off the wing tip and discard or freeze them for making stock later.
Air Fryer Method
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400℉.
  2. Rinse the wings and pat dry with paper towels. Toss the wings with the baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until coated.
  3. Place the wings in the air fryer in a single layer, leaving space between them so they aren't touching. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 8 minutes. 
  4. While the wings are cooking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
  5. Toss the wings with the sauce, and serve.
