Sticky Honey-Tamari Wings

Serves 6
Total Time 2 hours, 30 minutes
Prep Time 15 minutes
Marinate Time 2 hours
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

Wings
2 pounds chicken wings 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter 
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ cup honey
Sesame seeds and cilantro leaves (garnish) 

Marinade
1 cup Kikkoman® Tamari Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Kikkoman® Sesame Oil
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves 
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves minced garlic 
Juice of ½ lemon 

Directions

  1. Rinse chicken wings and pat dry. Remove tips and discard. Separate each wing at the joint and cut into 2 pieces. Place wings in a shallow dish or zipper seal bag. 
  2. Whisk together all marinade ingredients. Toss well to coat and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. 
  3. Remove wings from marinade and pat dry; season with salt and pepper. In a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. When the butter stops foaming, add the honey and chicken wings and cook for 5 minutes or until browned. Continue cooking and  turning the wings often for 5 minutes more to coat them as the glaze reduces. 
  4. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle some of the glaze over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve immediately.
