Chili-Glazed Chicken Wings With Toasted Sesame Seeds - cooking recipe

Ingredients

16 chicken wings, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds, wing tips removed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Glaze
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce, such as Sriracha
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Preparation

Put the wings in a large bowl and evenly coat them with the oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes
before grilling.
In a small bowl whisk the glaze ingredients.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the
seeds into a cool container to stop the cooking.
Brush the cooking grate clean. Grill the wings over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the skin turns
golden brown, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally and swapping their positions as needed for even cooking. Then lightly brush the
wings with the glaze on both sides and grill until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 8 to 10 minutes, continuing to turn, glaze, and
swap their positions for even cooking (you may not need all of the glaze). Remove the wings from the grill and sprinkle the sesame
seeds over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
