About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

The glaze is boiled until it coats a spoon before it meets the wings. That short reduction keeps the skin from going soggy.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Pat the wings dry and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 02

    Heat oil to 375°F. Fry in batches until deep golden and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on a rack.

  3. 03

    While the wings fry, simmer honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and sesame oil in a skillet until the bubbles turn slow and the sauce coats a spoon, about 3 minutes. Take it off the heat and stir in the butter.

  4. 04

    Toss the wings in the glaze. Finish with sesame seeds and scallion.

Notes & swaps

  • Roast at 425°F for 45 minutes if you would rather not fry.
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes in the glaze makes these closer to hot honey.
