Mojito Chicken Wings With Wasabi Mint Cream Sauce
- 12 whole Chicken Wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1/4 cups Cornstarch
- 23 cups Ponzu Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1/4 cups White Rum
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Sauce (such As Sriracha)
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
- 6 ounces, fluid Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoons Wasabi Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Cilantro, Minced
- 2 whole Fresh Mint Leaves
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
- Rinse the chicken wings in cold water and dry well.
- Sprinkle chicken on all sides with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle with cornstarch and rub to coat.
- In a large bowl, add the ponzu, honey, rum, chili sauce, garlic powder and sesame seeds, stirring well to combine.
- Add the chicken wings and toss to coat.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for ten minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Arrange the chicken wings on the baking sheet (save the marinade).
- Once the oven is preheated, bake the wings at 425 F for ten minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, add the remaining marinade to a pot over medium high heat, stirring frequently.
- Cook and reduce until thickened and syrupy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once the marinade has reduced, remove the chicken from the oven and brush it with the thickened marinade, turn them over, brush with marinade on the other side.
- Return wings to the oven and allow to cook for an additional 10 minutes, basting again after that.
- Then put them back in the oven and allow chicken to bake until cooked through, an additional 10-15 minutes.
- So the total cooking time for the chicken will be approximately 25-35 minutes, requiring basting every ten minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- To make the sauce, add the Greek yogurt, wasabi, cilantro, mint, and lime juice into a bowl and mix to combine.
- Serve the sauce alongside the wings as a dipping sauce.
