Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, oleo, and dry mustard to make the sauce.
- Use only two larger sections of chicken wings.
- Place the wings in a shallow pan and pour the sauce over them.
- Baste and turn the wings every 15 minutes so they get covered with sauce.
- During the last 10 minutes, sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds.
- Drain the wings on cake racks, spreading newspaper underneath to catch drippings.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding minced garlic or ginger to the sauce. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter or a vegan butter alternative works well. Adjust the dry mustard according to your taste; if you prefer less heat, start with 1/2 teaspoon. For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Basting the wings regularly ensures they absorb maximum flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These Hinder Wings are delicious when served with a side of Coleslaw Superb for a refreshing crunch. For a complete meal, pair them with rice or a light salad. They also make a great appetizer for gatherings. Consider serving them alongside Sweet Relish for an extra layer of flavor. Enjoy with Southern Sweet Tea for a perfect balance.
Storage & Reheating

To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain their crispiness, especially if you've drained them well after cooking.
