Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 cup Protein powder (unflavored)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp Scallions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, add the unflavored protein powder. Dredge each chicken wing in the protein powder to ensure they are lightly but evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 7

Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the honey garlic sauce over the top.

Step 9

Toss the wings gently until they are well coated with the sauce.

Step 10

Serve the wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
