Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the sheet.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the salt, pepper, and baking powder. Ensure the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer the wings to a large bowl.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings, tossing until they are well coated.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the wings as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious honey garlic chicken wings!
