Honey-Sesame Grilled Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
* 1/2 cup soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon minced ginger
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic
* 1 tablespoon Asian chili paste
* 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, cut apart at joint
* 1/2 cup honey
* 1 1/2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
* 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
* 1 green onion, trimmed and chopped
Preparation:
1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili paste. Add chicken and let marinate for 15 minutes, stirring often.
2. Set up a gas or charcoal grill for medium heat (350° to 400°; you can hold your hand 5 in. above the cooking grate only 5 to 7 seconds). Put chicken on the grill and cover with lid. Cook, turning often, until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, combine honey and hoisin sauce. Using a pastry brush, generously baste chicken wings with honey glaze. Cover grill with lid and cook till honey glaze starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Turn chicken wings over and baste again, using the remaining honey glaze. Cook for 3 minutes more, being careful not to let the glaze burn, removing pieces from the grill as they’re done.
4. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve any remaining honey glaze on the side.
Makes 6 to 8 appetizer servings or 2 main course servings and takes 45 minutes to prepare.

Holy cow! This was a huge hit on our house. Definitely a keeper. Make this in a regular skillet rather than a saucepan as indicated. I tried it both ways and the skillet method made the glaze like it should. The saucepan just didn’t work as well. I have not read all the reviews so I apologize if this has been mentioned…make sure to allow proper time for the liquid to reduce. You want a thick glaze sticking to the chicken. Yum!!
