- •2 tbsp Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- •0.5 tbsp Sesame Oil, Toasted
- •2 Garlic(6g)
- •1 tbsp Honey
- •2 tbsp Sesame seeds
- •Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Kecap Manis, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic until combined. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours (or overnight for stronger flavor).

- 4Flip the wings and broil for 5–8 minutes longer over high heat until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 5While the wings finish cooking, bring the reserved marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer for 5–7 minutes over medium heat until slightly thickened and syrupy.
- 6Pour the reduced sauce over the cooked wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
- 7Divide the wings evenly into 8 airtight containers while hot, distributing the sauce equally among them.
- 8Sprinkle sesame seeds over each portion before serving or storing.
