Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken wings
  • 5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 whole scallion, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Working in batches, sear wings 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden — don't move them.

  3. 3

    Return all wings to the skillet. Pour soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger over the top; stir to coat.

  4. 4

    Toss constantly over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes until the glaze reduces, thickens, and clings glossy to each wing.

  5. 5

    Transfer wings to a serving plate. Scatter scallion over top and serve immediately.
