Sesame-broiled Chicken Wings


I made these wings a while ago, but I'm just posting the recipe now. A real winner!

Sesame-broiled Chicken Wings, from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything

Time: 30 minutes, plus time to preheat the broiler

Ingredients:
2-3 lbs chicken wings, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels, cut into 3 pieces at the joints. Save the wing tips (the smallest piece) for stock (freeze).
2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp minced and peeled fresh ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tsp dark sesame oil

To make:
1. Preheat the broiler. The rack should be 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Put the chicken pieces in a bowl, add 1 tbsp of oil and some salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Place the pieces in a roasting pan and cook, turning after 4-5 minutes or when the first side is beginning to brown.

2. Meanwhile, combine the remaining tbsp of oil with the remaining ingredients. After the second side is beginning to brown, brush the wings with some of the oil mixture. Continue to cook, turning once or twice more until nicely browned all over, about 15-20 minutes total. Give a final brush, and serve.
