Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 cup sake
  • salt
  • ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, soak the chicken wings in the sake for about 10 minutes (flip them once to make sure they all get soaked fully).
  • Turn the broiler on high (500-550° F) and let the oven heat up.
  • Pat each wing dry with a paper towel. Prepare a baking sheet with a wire rack on top.
  • Sprinkle both sides of each wing with salt and pepper. Place the wings on the rack skin side down.
  • Once the oven is hot, place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven (about 6" from the heating element). Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the wings get some color (be careful not to burn it). Flip so the skin side is up and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the skin crisps up and browns nicely (again, be careful not to burn it).
  • Serve and enjoy!
