Finger-Licking Yummy - Teriyaki Wings
How do we piss those finger-licking pleasing Teriyaki Wings? Here are trio lancelike things to regard.

- Enough assets of combust on the crybaby brings a deeper, more stalwart blackened savour.
When you head "teriyaki" recipes, the 3 most copernican ingredients are soy sauce, welfare and mirin. For this Teriyaki Wings recipe, I relation with Takara Saki and victimised Sho Chiku Bai Artist Junmai Benefit and Takara Mirin (shown below).
Takara Saki is also a brobdingnagian sort in the U.S., so you can easily exploit their sake and mirin in Asian marketplace stores, Denizen marketplace stores, and many intoxicant stores.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 knob ginger
- 2 lbs chicken wings (907 g)
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup sake (60 ml) (I used Sho Chiku Bai Classic Junmai Sake)
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil (for cooking)
Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ cup sake (I used Sho Chiku Bai Classic Junmai Sake)
- ¼ cup mirin (I used Takara Mirin)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tsp ginger juice
Garnish
- ½ tsp white sesame seeds (roasted/toasted)
- 1 green onion/scallion
INSTRUCTIONS
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Teriyaki Wings Ingredients
- Grate ginger. Measure 1 tsp of grated ginger and save all the ginger juice for later use.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and crush 2 garlic cloves with a garlic press (or mince the garlic). Add 1 tsp grated ginger and ¼ cup sake.
- Add ⅛ tsp kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Rub the chicken wings well with your hands until they’re completely coated in the mix.
- Heat the Dutch oven (I use Le Creuset 4.5 QT) over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 Tbsp sesame oil and distribute evenly. Add the chicken wings in a single layer, trying not to overwrap. If you cook more than 2 lbs chicken wings, you will definitely need to cook in batches.
- Some parts of chicken wings may get overlapped, but that’s okay. Cover and cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
- After 4-5 minutes have passed, open the lid and flip the chicken wings. Now, if you are using a pot that is NOT oven-safe, then you want to brown the chicken wings nicely at this stage. Don’t turn the wings often and let the wings get nice brown char. You may need to increase the heat slightly, depending on the pot you’re using.
- Cover again and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Then uncover and check if the wings need to brown more.
- Add 2 Tbsp honey, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, ¼ cup sake, ¼ cup mirin, and ¼ cup soy sauce.
- Lastly add all the ginger juice (roughly 1 tsp) and make sure all the wings are coated in the sauce very well.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and most of the chicken wings are exposed from the sauce. When you’re about to finish simmering, preheat the broiler for 5 minutes.
- Place the Dutch oven in the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes. Stay in front of the oven to make sure you don’t burn the chicken wings. My rack is in the middle and heat element is not too close to the chicken wings. Broiling time varies depending on how far your wings are from the heat element.
- Thinly slice the green onion (green part only) diagonally, and sprinkle over the wings, along with the sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
