  • Preheat the oven to 430 degrees F (220 C).
  • When the chicken is done, transfer the teriyaki wings to a metal rack set on top of a sheet pan.

  • Let the teriyaki chicken wings sit for a few minutes to let the residual heat evaporate any liquid on the surface of the chicken.
  • Bake the wings until the skin is a deep mahogany brown (about 10-12 minutes).
  • While the wings bake, strain the braising liquid and skim off any excess fat. Boil the sauce over high heat until the mixture is as thick as maple syrup.
    Reducing Teriyaki Sauce
  • When the teriyaki wings are done, remove them from the oven and use a pastry brush or spoon to glaze them with the reduced sauce. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds.
