Sticky Honey Chicken Wings

Yes, we do a lot of BBQ's here in California. It's how we socialize. We love pleasant afternoons and evenings to sit around, eat, drink, etc. The kids will get a backyard game of something going, and sometimes we adults will join in as well. We were invited to a BBQ this afternoon, and I always ask what I should bring... hmmmmmmm....

These chicken wings are ALWAYS a hit. I have yet to bring home any leftovers. I got this recipe off the Food Network.

TYLER FLORENCE STICKY HONEY WINGS

2 pounds chicken wings
1 cup low sodium soy sauce,
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves (substitute w/ flat-leafed parsley if you don't like cilantro)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup honey
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Rinse chicken wings and pat dry. Remove tip and discard; separate each wing at the joint into 2 pieces. Place wings in a shallow dish and pour over the soy sauce, ginger, cilantro, garlic, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat; marinate, refrigerated, for 2 hours.

Remove wings from marinade and pat dry; season with salt and pepper. 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. Continue cooking the wings, turning them over often to coat them as the glaze reduces. Cook until the wings are sticky and cooked through. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
