Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 red chili, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps them become extra crispy during cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the wings with cornstarch, ensuring each wing is lightly coated.
Spread the wings out in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
Remove the wings from the oven and add them to the skillet. Toss to coat them with the garlic oil.
Add the salt, black pepper, green onions, and red chili to the skillet and toss the wings to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Serve the wings immediately, garnished with additional green onions or chili slices if desired.
