• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  lbs chicken wings
• 1  cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon  grated fresh ginger
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄2 lemon, juiced
•  kosher salt
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 2  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1⁄2 cup honey
•  sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

1. Rinse chicken wings and pat dry. Remove tip and discard; separate each wing at the joint into 2 pieces.
2. In a shallow dish combine the soy sauce, ginger, cilantro, garlic, and lemon juice. Add wings and toss well to coat; marinate, refrigerated, for 2 hours.
3. Remove wings from marinade and pat dry; season with salt and pepper.
4. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter in the olive oil. When the butter stops foaming, add the honey and chicken wings and fry until browned on each side, about 5 minutes.
5. Continue cooking the wings, turning them over often to coat them as the glaze reduces. Cook until the wings are sticky and cooked through.
6. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
