Char Siu Chicken Wings are a popular appetizer in Chinese cuisine. These wings are marinated and coated in a sweet and savory char siu sauce, which is typically used in barbecued meats like pork and duck. The wings can be baked, grilled or fried before pouring on the sauce, making them versatile and easily customizable to your preferences. The wings are usually served hot and can be garnished with sesame seeds, green onions, or cilantro. They are perfect for a party or as a quick snack to satisfy your cravings any time of the day.

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	Rinse chicken wings and dry them with paper towels.
3.	Mix together the char siu sauce and water in a small bowl.
4.	Place the chicken wings into a casserole dish.
5.	Pour the char siu sauce mixture over the chicken wings and mix to cover all of the wings.
6.	Bake the chicken wings in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the wings are fully cooked.
7.	Take the wings out of the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot.

PROS

These wings are incredibly easy to make and cook in just under an hour.

They are flavorful and can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack or even main course.

CONS

Chicken wings are high in calories and fat, and so should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced and healthy diet.

Also, char siu sauce is relatively high in sugar and sodium which are generally not recommended in large quantities.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chicken wings are high in protein and provide essential amino acids and nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, and niacin.
Further, sesame seeds are rich sources of healthy fats, protein, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which help keep our bones and heart healthy. However, it should be noted that the amount of sesame seeds used in this recipe is minimal and so its benefits are limited.
