Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds skin-on chicken wings, bone-in
  • 3 egg whites
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Honey Glaze

  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 inch knob fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Rack: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, then place an oven-safe cooling rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Chicken Wings: Wash the chicken wings thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Arrange the wings evenly on the prepared cooling rack.
  3. Mix Egg White Coating: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, salt, black pepper, and paprika until the mixture is frothy. This helps the wings develop a crispy surface when baked.
  4. Coat Wings with Egg Mixture: Using a brush or spoon, evenly apply the egg white mixture to both sides of each chicken wing to ensure an even coating.
  5. Bake the Wings: Place the baking sheet with wings in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  6. Prepare Honey Glaze: While the wings bake, combine the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, grated ginger, lime juice, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens to a sticky glaze consistency.
  7. Coat Baked Wings: Once the wings are cooked and crispy, let them cool slightly for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a large bowl, pour the prepared honey glaze over, and toss gently to coat each wing uniformly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the coated wings with toasted sesame seeds and freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness during baking.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For extra crunch, broil the glazed wings for 2-3 minutes after coating, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor impact in the glaze.
