📝 Ingredients
- 10 chicken wings
- 1 small cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade; add sesame seeds for extra texture)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the wings and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper evenly.

- Repeat the brushing with sauce and bake for an additional 10 minutes to build a sticky glaze.
- If cooking on a charcoal grill, brush and turn the wings frequently to glaze both sides evenly.
- Turn on the oven grill (broiler) for 1–2 minutes to crisp the glaze slightly — skip this step if using a charcoal grill.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetable noodles and extra teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping.
💡 Cooking Tips & Variations
