Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Oven
• Baking tray
• Aluminum foil
• Large shallow dish
• Whisk
• Small saucepan

Ingredients

• 1 kg | 2 lbs chicken wing nibbles — Drumettes and Wingettes (or whole chicken wings; tip removed and discarded; each wing separated at the joint into 2 pieces)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Kecap Manis (Sweet Soy Sauce)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed/minced
• 1-2 tablespoons (extra) honey
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
• Lemon wedges to serve

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to grill/broil settings on high heat (or 200°C | 400°F).
2. Wash and rinse the chicken wings, then pat them dry. Cut the skin off the wing drumettes, but leave it on for the wingettes if you prefer to cut out extra fat.
3. In a large shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce, Kecap Manis, honey, sesame oil, and garlic. Add the chicken and mix well to coat. Refrigerate to marinate for 1-2 hours, or overnight for a stronger flavor.
4. Remove the wings from the marinade and reserve the liquid. Arrange the chicken wings, skin side up, on an oven tray lined with aluminum foil and drizzle with a little extra honey. Grill/broil for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the wings over and grill/broil for another 5-8 minutes until they are golden, sticky, and cooked through.
5. While the wings are in the oven, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
6. To serve, pour the honey sauce over the wings and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Tips for Success

• Marinate the chicken wings overnight for maximum flavor.
• Keep an eye on the wings while they’re in the oven to prevent burning.
• Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.

Additional Tips or Variations

Try adding a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick, or sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for extra freshness.
