Step 1
Pat wings dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Working in batches, sear wings 3 minutes per side without moving until golden, then transfer to a plate. Do not crowd the pan.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add ginger and garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in soy sauce and brown sugar.
Step 4
Return wings to skillet. Toss to coat, then let them simmer 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce clings glossy and dark.
Step 5
Arrange lettuce on a serving plate. Top with wings and any pan sauce, then serve immediately while the glaze is sticky.
