Ingredients
- 2–3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes), thawed if frozen
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- Optional: 1 tsp Sriracha for heat
- Optional: 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Wings: Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- 2. Make Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar (and optional Sriracha). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Keep warm.
- 3. Bake Wings: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange seasoned wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked to 165°F (74°C).
- 4. Toss with Glaze: Transfer hot, baked wings to a clean large bowl. Pour the warm honey garlic glaze over them. Toss thoroughly with tongs until all wings are evenly coated. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with toasted sesame oil.
