These zesty glazed chicken wings are a perfect combination of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors, making them a crowd-pleaser for any gathering.
Preheat your oven to broil and line a baking sheet with foil.
Lining the baking sheet with foil makes cleanup easier.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the wings are not overlapping for even cooking.
Broil the wings for about 10 minutes, turning halfway, until lightly browned.
Keep an eye on the wings to prevent burning.
In a saucepan, combine ketchup, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, hot sauce, garlic, and ginger.
Stir the sauce constantly to prevent sticking.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking.
Dip each wing into the sauce using tongs and place them back on the baking sheet.
Coating the wings thoroughly ensures maximum flavor.
Bake the wings for 35 minutes, basting with sauce halfway through.
Basting keeps the wings moist and flavorful.
For extra crispiness, broil the wings for an additional 2 minutes before serving.
Watch closely during broiling to avoid burning.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Adding garnishes enhances the presentation and flavor.
