Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, ground black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well blended.
Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are all well-coated. Seal the plastic bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the chicken wings for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and lightly spray it with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Discard any remaining marinade.
Lightly spray the top of the chicken wings with additional olive oil spray for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken wings are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
