Spicy Baked Sesame Chicken Wings

This is the best/easiest way to cook wings, in my opinion! They are not fried, not greasy, are lower in calories, and oh so yummy! A little spicy, but not too much, and a little smoky from the chipotle and liquid smoke! Obviously bourbon is optional! I prefer the drummies, but my husband likes the whole wing, minus the wing tips. Your choice!

INGRIDIENT

4 pounds chicken wings

1 serving cooking spray

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

½ cup soy sauce

½ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 tablespoon bourbon (Optional)

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce

1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Crystal®)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, or to taste

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step: 2

Place a baking rack on top of a baking sheet, and lay chicken wings on top. Spray with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.

Step: 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip wings and bake for another 15 minutes.

Step: 4

While the wings are baking, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, chipotle peppers, bourbon, ginger, chile-garlic sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, and liquid smoke in a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Lower heat slightly and simmer for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and keep sauce warm.

Step: 5

Remove wings from the oven and turn on the broiler; if you can adjust the broiling temperature, select 480 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Step: 6

Brush sauce on wings, and broil for 5 minutes. Flip wings, brush sauce on the other side, and broil for 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step: 7

Garnish wings with sesame seeds and serve.
