Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 3 tbsp Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- 2 tbsp Chopped green onions (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for even cooking.
Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, butter, ketchup, rice vinegar, and optional Sriracha if you desire a bit of heat.
Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble gently. Remove it from the heat and set aside.
When the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm honey sauce over the top and toss to coat the wings thoroughly.
Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these sticky, flavorful Honey Sauced Chicken Wings with napkins on hand!
