- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Rice vinegar

Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wings and toss again to ensure an even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and minced garlic. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan.
Cook the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a glaze. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken wings with the sweet and sour glaze until evenly coated.
Transfer the glazed chicken wings to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sticky, sweet, and tangy chicken wings!
