Crispy oven-baked chicken wings tossed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions for an irresistible appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Garnish (Optional)

  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken wings to crispy perfection.
  2. Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss the wings with baking powder and vegetable oil until they are evenly coated; this helps create a crispy skin when baked.
  3. Arrange and bake wings: Place the wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This setup allows heat to circulate around the wings, ensuring they become extra crispy. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time until they turn golden brown and crisp.
  4. Make the honey garlic sauce: While the wings bake, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and ground ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld together.
  5. Toss wings in sauce: After baking, transfer the crispy wings to a large bowl. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss thoroughly to coat every piece with the glossy, flavorful sauce.
  6. Serve with garnish: Serve the wings hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions to add texture and extra flavor.

Notes

  • For best crispiness, ensure wings are patted dry before coating.
  • Baking on a wire rack allows air to circulate and helps crisp the skin evenly.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and warmed before tossing with wings.
  • Adjust garlic and ginger quantities according to taste preference.
  • Serve immediately after coating for the best texture; leftover sauced wings may become soggy.
