Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the sheet. Spray the rack lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes crispy. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken wings, then toss until the wings are thoroughly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Ensure that there is space between each wing so that they crisp up properly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with chopped green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
