Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, separated at joints and tips removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or scallions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange in a single layer on the rack.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Toss baked wings in the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and parsley or scallions before serving.
Notes
- For spicier wings, add 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce.
- Wings can be prepped ahead; bake and sauce them right before serving.
- Line the baking sheet well to make cleanup easier.
