Ingredients

  • FOR THE MARINADE
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled and grated
  • 1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon nam pla or other Asian fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon mirin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • FOR THE GLAZE
  • 1 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon nam pla or other Asian fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons red yuzu kosho (If you can't find red yuzu kosho (available at Japanese specialty markets), you can substitute 1 teaspoon of hot sauce or chile powder mixed with 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • FOR SERVING
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped scallions

Method

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix together all marinade ingredients except chicken wings. Add the wings and toss to coat. Cover and let chicken marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • 2. When ready to cook, combine all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until glaze reduces to a saucy consistency, about 20 minutes. Transfer to large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • 3. Heat a broiler to high. Set a baking rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and arrange wings on rack. Broil for 12 minutes, flipping wings halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
  • 4. Transfer wings to the bowl with the glaze and toss to coat. Transfer wings to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds, pepper and scallions. Serve hot.
