Teba Shio: Japanese Salted Sake Chicken Wings
In this Japanese recipe, the chicken wings are salty and full of flavor. The wings are oven-broiled until they become crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. To make it taste even more perfect, you can add some spices to the dish, like Japanese seven-spice.

Ingredients
- 15 pieces chicken wings flats or winglets
- 1½ cups sake
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper powder
- 1 piece of lemon
- 2 tbsp apanese seven spice Shichimi togarashi
Instructions
- Soak the chicken in a bowl of sake for 15 minutes.
- Pat dry each piece of wings.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper on both sides. Place on a tray lined with aluminum foil. Place the chicken skin down.
- The wings should be broiled on high heat. Before cooking, preheat the oven's broiler to high (550°F/288°C) for 3 minutes.
- The baking sheet should be placed on the middle oven rack, about 8" from the heating source. Cook the chicken on the skin side for about 8-10 minutes and an additional 9 to 10 minutes after flipping it over or until it is well browned and crispy.
- Take the tray out of the oven and sprinkle the chicken with Seven Spice and lemon juice.
Notes
Note: if your oven doesn't have a broiler, you can roast the chicken wings on medium-high heat for approximately 45 minutes, turning them over at least once, so they get crispy.
