Marinated Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

- 2 pounds chicken wings

- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons honey

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- 2 teaspoons garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon ground ginger

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

- 1 green onion, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Servings:

- Makes 4 servings

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   - In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

2. Marinate the Wings

   - Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat evenly.

   - Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4-6 hours for maximum flavor.

3. Cook the Wings:

   - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

   - Remove wings from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased rack.

   - Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

4. Garnish and Serve:

   - Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.

   - Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes:

- For a crispier texture, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.

- Adjust seasoning to taste before marinating.
