Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

The result of this recipe defies the simplicity of the prep.
It is so simple - elegantly simple - you'll find it hard to believe it can be this simple when you taste the result!

So here is the recipe:

1/2 cup soy sauce.
1/2 cup white vinegar.
1/2 cup honey.
3 garlic cloves, crushed.
2 inches ginger, thinly sliced.
3 pounds chicken wings.
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted. (optional)
2 teaspoons chives. (optional)


Preheat oven to 475°. In a small saucepan whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium high and cook stirring occasionally until mixture thickens and is reduced by half. 30 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. You should have 3/4 cup sauce.

Meanwhile, arrange chicken wings in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden, crisp and cooked through, 35 minutes. Drain fat from the sheet and with tongs transfer wings to a bowl with sauce. Toss until wings are coated and most of the sauce is absorbed about three minutes. To serve sprinkle with sesame seeds and chives if desired.

So there it is. Enjoy! Enjoy!! Enjoy!!!.
