- Add the chicken wings and cover the bowl with food wrap.
- Leave in the fridge for 12 hours or overnight.
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius / 355 degrees farenheit.
- Lay the chicken wings on a baking sheet in one layer.
- Bake for about 30 minutes turning the meat regurlarly (every 8/10 minutes) and pouring each time some of the remaining marinade.
Notes
White port can be replaced by sweet white wine.
You can also cook those sesame chicken wings on a hot grill for about 15 minutes.
Trick to marinate the wings: instead of using a bowl you can marinate the chicken wings in food plastic bag. This way the marinade will get all other the chicken wings and you won't have to turn the wings.
