Marinade: Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings. Cover and refrigerate for 4-8 hours. Remove from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Charcoal, Gas + Pellet Grill: Heat your grill to 400F degrees with an indirect zone. Place the wings on the grill fat side down and grill for 15 minutes per side.
Schwank Grill: If using a Schwank 1500-degree infrared grill, cook in batches on level 3 for 10 minutes per side.
Air Fryer: Heat your air fryer to 350F degrees. Place the wings in the basket fat side down. Cook for 15 minutes. Flip. Cook for 10 more minutes.
Sauce: Combine the sauce ingredients in a sauce pot and warm on the stove. After the wings are cooked, dunk them in the sauce. Return the wings to the grill or air fryer. On a gas, pellet or charcoal grill, they will be ready in 2-3 minutes. On the Schwank Grill, they'll be ready in 45-60 seconds. In an air fryer, they'll be crispy in about 5 minutes.
Garnish: Remove the wings to a platter and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
