Ingredients

• 2 pounds of chicken wings
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wings:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to simmer.

3. Thicken the Sauce:

   • Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry and slowly pour it into the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until thickened.

4. Bake the Wings:

   • Brush half of the thickened teriyaki sauce over the wings.
   • Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip and brush with more sauce.
   • Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the wings are cooked through and slightly crispy.

5. Serve:

   • Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Final Tips

• For Extra Crispiness: Consider broiling the wings for the last 5 minutes if you like an extra crispy finish.
• Marinating Option: For a deeper flavor profile, marinate the wings in half of the sauce for a few hours prior to baking.
• Storage: You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven to maintain crispiness.

These wings are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike. The balance of flavors and the sticky texture make them a classic favorite you’ll return to time and again. Enjoy these as an appetizer, snack, or even as a main dish, and watch them disappear quickly!
