Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, and baking powder until evenly coated.
Place the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle olive oil over the wings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Stir and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl, then pour the honey garlic sauce over them. Toss to coat the wings thoroughly with the sauce.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
