Teba Shio (Salted Chicken Wings)
Directions
- 1Adjust an oven rack to the middle position.
- 2Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- 3Soak chicken wings in sake for 10 minutes, turning the wings once.
- 4Remove and pat dry each wing with paper towels.
- 5Place the wings, skin side up, on the wire rack.
- 6Sprinkle the wings with a generous amount of Diamond Crystal kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 7Flip the wings to sprinkle the other side, keeping them skin side down.
- 8Preheat the oven broiler on High (550ºF/288ºC) for 3 minutes before cooking.
- 9Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven, about 8 inches (20 cm) away from the heating element.
- 10Cook for 9–10 minutes until nicely browned and crispy.
- 11Flip the chicken to cook the other side (skin side) for another 9–10 minutes.
- 12Watch the chicken carefully to prevent burning; if your oven is small/strong, try broiling at Medium (500ºF/260ºC) or lower the rack.
- 13If not using a broiler, bake at 425–450ºF (200–230ºC) for about 45 minutes, monitoring until the internal temperature is 165ºF (74ºC).
- 14Serve with shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) and lemon wedges on the side.
- 15Keep leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for a month.

Tips
- Use good quality chicken wings.
- Soak the chicken wings in sake for 15 minutes to remove gamey taste; 1 and 1/2 cup sake is needed to cover the wings.
- Pat dry each wing thoroughly with a paper towel before baking to ensure crispy skin.
- Serve with a lemon wedge and a sprinkling of Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese seven spice) for extra flavor.
