Japanese BBQ Buffalo Wings

My boyfriend has not stopped talking about these wings (or how bad the Giants are).

The best words I could use to describe these wings are “spicy sesame”. Just trust me on this one.

Ingredients

Wings:

• 1 pound Chicken Wings

• 2 Tbsp Cornstarch

• 3/4 Tsp Sea Salt

• 1/2 Tsp Cracked Black Pepper

Sauce:

• 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter

• 2 Tbsp Frank’s Red Hot

• 2 Tbsp Bachan’s Original Japanese BBQ Sauce

• 4 Cloves Garlic. Minced

• 1/2 Tsp Sesame Oil

• 1 Tbsp Honey

• 1 Green Onion, Diced

• 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions:

1. Adjust oven rack to the upper-middle position. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F

2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray (I like to use Avocado Oil)

3. Pat wings dry with a paper towel (the dryer the better) and place in a large bowl

4. Combine cornstarch with salt and pepper and coat sprinkle seasoning over the wings, tossing to evenly coat

5. Arrange wings on baking sheet and bake, turning every 20 minutes until the wings are crispy and browned. About an hour

6. Remove from the oven and let wings stand for 5 minutes. Transfer wings to bowl and toss with sauce

7. Top with remaining green onions and enjoy with your fav dipping sauce

For the Sauce:

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat

2. Add in Garlic and half the Green Onions and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute

3. Add in sesame oil, red hot, bbq sauce, honey and red pepper flakes 

4. Bring to simmer then switch to low heat to thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes

5. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature

Notes:

• You can double/triple the recipe depending on how many pounds of wings you are making at a time
