Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 285 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Japanese soy sauce
• 1 Cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 Cup pineapple juice
• 0.25 Cup sake
• 0.25 Cup rice vinegar
• 8 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 Teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
• 0.5 Teaspoon Korean red pepper flakes
• 0.5 Teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 2 Pounds chicken wings

Steps

1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, sake, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, MSG, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Cut the chicken wings at the joint to make drumettes. Place them in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the cooled sauce. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
3. Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and grill until lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side.
4. Pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the grilled chicken wings in a single layer in a large baking dish and pour the sauce over them.
6. Bake in the preheated oven, turning and basting frequently, until the wings are browned, about 1 hour.
