Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy clean-up.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, paprika, and vegetable oil until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the saucepan. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are golden and cooked through, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Remove the wings from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish, and serve immediately.
