Game Day Sweet Sour Chicken Wings Recipes

SWEET-AND-SOUR CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and is reduced by half, 30 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. You should have 2/3 cup sauce.
• Meanwhile, arrange chicken wings in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden, crisp, and cooked through, 35 minutes. Drain fat from sheet and, with tongs, transfer wings to bowl with sauce. Toss until wings are coated and most of sauce is absorbed, about 3 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chives, if desired.
