The weather has just been getting warmer lately, so I couldn’t help but turn my attention to the grill! We want to do everything that minimizes adding heat to the house, so grilling recipes are just perfect for this time of the year. Plus, it’s the easiest way to amp up a ton of flavors. That’s where this chicken wing recipe comes into play.

These Grilled Honey Sesame Chicken Wings are cooked on the grill until they get nicely charred and crispy, then tossed with a sweet and sticky glaze just like the way sesame chicken is. Now, I will say, if you’ve never grilled chicken wings before, you’ve got to try it!

These grilled chicken wings are perfect to serve as an appetizer when you have friends drop by or even serve as a meal for family. To make these wings, I marinated them and cooked on the grill, before tossing the cooked wings in a sweet and sticky sesame sauce.

I can always count on my family on devouring chicken wings. They happen to be one of my family’s favorite things. And I’ve got to admit – they’re my favorite too! These grilled chicken wings have just the right combination of sweet and spicy to take them over the the top. I added a bit of chili pepper flakes in the sauce for heat, but you could totally omit it if you like it mild.

Let’s just say it is impossible for me to eat just one – I hope you get to try them soon!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings trimmed into sections
  • Salt and pepper
  • For the sauce:
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tbsps brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • Toasted sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Season chicken wings with salt and pepper
  • Preheat grill to medium and place wings in a single layer over the heat. Grill the wings for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are completely cooked through, flipping once. If a few pieces seem get darker before others, shift them to a cooler part of the grill.
  • While the wings are cooking, whisk together garlic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch in a measuring cup. Cook the sauce mixture in a saucepan and simmer on low for 3 minutes or until thickened.
  • Toss cooked wings in the honey sesame sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
