Orange Sesame Wings

We love chicken wings with Asian-inspired flavors. We tend to favor the sweeter sauces versus the super hot and spicy. These orange sesame wings were absolutely incredible. As simple as they are, using easily-found ingredients, we could not stop commenting about how great there were while we devoured them. There’s a slight sweet orange citrus flavor and a good amount of sesame.

Orange Sesame Wings

A Wonderful Citrus Flavor

I sometimes find sesame-infused flavors to be easily overpowering, but not in this case. The orange marmalade cools it perfectly. And if you do want a bit of heat to offset the sweetness, add a few pinches of red pepper flake to the sauce.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Want some more sauce on the side for dipping your wings? These sauce dipping cups are great!
