What you need

Bat Wing Chicken Wings

Sticky honey-soy glazed Halloween chicken wings — crispy, garlicky, midnight-dark with black sesame speckles. Ready in 40 minutes.

Ingredients

2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes, patted very dry
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup (110 g) honey
1/4 cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds, for the spooky finish
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for serving (optional)

Directions

Heat the oven. Preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on top and lightly oil it.
Season the wings. Toss the patted-dry wings with the oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer on the rack, skin-side up.
Bake until crisp. Bake 28-30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until the wings are deeply golden, crisp at the edges, and cooked through (165°F / 74°C internal).
Make the sticky glaze. While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar; simmer 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
Toss like a bat cave. Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl, pour over the glaze, and toss until every wing is coated in a shiny, dark glaze.
Finish and serve. Sprinkle with the black sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately.
