Ingredients
Chicken Wings
6 (whole)
Kikkoman Light Soy Sauce
1 (8 ounce) bottle (none)
Garlic
3 cloves (minced)
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon (to taste)
Cayenne Pepper
to taste (optional)
White Jasmine Rice
2 cups (uncooked, for cooking)
Instructions
1
In a large bowl, add the chicken wings and pour in the Kikkoman light soy sauce, ensuring there’s enough sauce to coat the wings and create a little puddle at the bottom for marinating.
2
Next, press the garlic cloves through a garlic press or chop finely, then scatter it evenly over the chicken wings.
3
Add about a teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper on top of the wings for added flavor.
4
If you prefer a bit of heat, season with cayenne pepper to taste; I usually eyeball it for a spicy kick.
5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight to enhance the flavors.
6
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
7
Place the marinated chicken wings on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
8
After 30 minutes, flip the wings over and bake for another 30 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
9
While the wings are baking, cook the jasmine rice in a rice cooker according to package instructions.
10
Once the wings are done, serve them piping hot alongside fluffy jasmine rice, and enjoy your delicious home-cooked meal!
