Ingredients

• 3 lbs chicken wings, separated and wing tips discarded
• For the bulgogi marinade:
• ¼ cup / 35 g sesame seeds
• 1 cup / 240 ml soy sauce (see notes)
• 1 bunch of scallions, white and green parts, sliced thinly on the bias
• ¼ cup / 50 g sugar
• 6 garlic cloves, crushed
• ¼ cup / 60 ml sesame oil
• ½ ripe pear, grated
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp red chili flakes

Directions

• If you are starting with raw sesame seeds, you need to first toast them. In a pre-heated skillet over low heat, toast the sesame seeds for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until you start to smell the aroma of toasted sesame seeds.
• To prepare the chicken wing marinade, combine all the ingredients in a medium size bowl and whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
• Transfer the marinade to a large Ziploc bag. Add the chicken wings, close the bag and massage the wings really well to make sure they are properly covered with marinade. Expel as much air as you can, close bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to about 350F-400F.
• Remove the marinated chicken wings from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.Try not to remove all of the sesame seeds, red pepper flakes and sliced scallions. They will add flavor to the wings once on the grill.
• Brush the preheated grill grate with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Cook your marinated chicken wings on the preheated grill, lid closed, for about 10-15 minutes on each side. You may want to use an instant read thermometer is not sure. The wings are ready when the temperature in the thickest parts registers at least 165F. I find that 180F internal temperature gives me the best results.
