Spicy Garlic-Sesame Chicken Wings
 
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons garlic-chile sauce*
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • Lime wedges, to serve
  • Garnish: toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onion
Instructions
  1. Cut off and discard wing tips; cut wings in half at joint. Sprinkle salt all over wings. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 2 hours.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic-chile sauce, vinegar, oil, ginger, and garlic until sugar dissolves.
  3. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat.
  4. Pat wings dry. Add to pan in batches, and cook, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from pan.
  5. Toss together cooked wings and half of soy sauce mixture. Return wings to pan, and cook until browned and caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with lime wedges and remaining soy mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired.
