Ingredients:
1 C. Soy sauce
1/2 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Sesame seeds
1 T. Cayenne pepper
3 Lbs. Chicken wings
Procedure:
Combine the first four ingredients to form a marinade
Cut the 3 pounds of wings into 3 pieces. Discard the wingtips and
marinate the remaining pieces for at least 30 minutes. Agitate the pieces
occasionally while they are marinating
Cover a baking pan with foil and, using tongs, place the marinated
wing pieces on it. There should be a slight seperation between each
individual piece so they don't stick together
Cook for one hour in a preheated oven at 350°F, turning the wing
pieces every 10 minutes. If you want them to come out nice and even, you
need to turn them individually with a pair of tongs. If you don't turn
them, they'll stick and burn on one side
After they are done, let stand for at least 20 minutes
Serve hot or at room temperature
Serve and garnish
Notes:
Serve as an appetizer or as an entrée on steamed rice
The amount of cayenne pepper can be adjusted according to taste
