Instructions
Baked Teriyaki Wings
Preheat oven to bake - Place the rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
Prepare chicken - Add olive oil, baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl and stir until combined. Dry chicken wings with a paper towel and place in the mixing bowl. Toss the wings in the mixture until completely coated.
Bake chicken - Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet or a greased cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Leave some space between each wing and avoid crowding so the chicken cooks evenly and gets crispy. Place in the oven and cook for 40-50 minutes, turning the wings over halfway through. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden and the internal temperature is 165°F (74°C).
Make sauce - While the wings bake, make the sauce. Add soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat and whisk until combined. Heat the sauce on medium heat and bring to a quick boil, then lower to a simmer for 5-7 minutes, occasionally whisking until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
3 tablespoon soy sauce, 4 tablespoon sake, 4 tablespoon mirin, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, granulated sugar, or honey
Toss in sauce - Remove the chicken wings from the oven and transfer to a clean mixing bowl. Toss in the teriyaki sauce until coated. Arrange back on the baking sheet and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes at 400°F. The wings will be sticky and the meat will be tender. Transfer to a clean serving platter and top with furikake and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
2 tablespoon furikake, chopped green onions
Broiled Teriyaki Wings
Preheat oven to boil - Place the rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to broil on high.
Prepare chicken - Add olive oil, baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl and stir until combined. Dry chicken wings with a paper towel and place in the mixing bowl. Toss the wings in the mixture until completely coated.
Broil chicken - Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet or a greased cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Leave some space between each wing and avoid crowding so the chicken cooks evenly and gets crispy. Place in the oven and cook for 10-14 minutes, turning halfway through. Make sure to quickly remove the baking sheet and close the oven door when you turn the wings over to avoid the hot air from escaping. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden and the internal temperature is 165°F (74°C).

Top Tips
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and increase crispiness.
To ensure the wings are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
