Yield: Approximately 5 servings
Adapted from the Food Channel, recipe courtesy of Tyler Florence
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings
1 c low sodium soy sauce or Tamari
1 Tbsp (large nub) coarsely chopped fresh ginger
2 Tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
2 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 c honey
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
Remove tips from chicken wings; separate each wing at joint into 2 pieces. Place wings in a shallow dish and pour over the soy sauce, ginger, cilantro, garlic and lemon juice. Toss well to coat. Marinate, refrigerated, for 2 hours.
Remove wings from marinade and pat dry; season with salt and pepper.
In a large sauté pan over medium high heat, melt the butter in the olive oil. When the butter stops foaming, add the honey and give mixture a good stir.
Add chicken wings to the pan and fry until browned on each side. Continue cooking the wings, turning them often, until they are cooked through and the sauce has become sticky. (The time will vary depending on the size of your wings.)
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve warm.
