Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds chicken drumettes
  2. Olive oil, for brushing
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 1/4 cup chicken stock
  5. 1/4 cup tamari
  6. 2 tablespoons ketchup
  7. 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  8. 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  9. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  10. 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  11. Pinch red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
  12. 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Place the chicken drumettes in the water, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. Carefully strain the wings and pat dry with paper towels. Brush the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the chicken stock, tamari, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  4. Transfer the sauce and chicken to a large bowl. Carefully toss the chicken in the warm sauce until fully coated. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and garnish with the green onions and more red pepper if you like it really spicy.

On the show, he boiled the chicken wings first then put them in the oven. And Callmekrazyk, I think you are right on about the brown sugar — on the show, they showed him making the sauce, and he was definitely putting a good amount of brown sugar in it.

Is this recipe missing an ingredient or two? While making the sauce today I realized it was missing something, I added brown sugar and corn starch … delicious 🙂

This sauce should be bottled but I’m going to try to make it at home tonight. Thank you Chris!
