Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 0.33 cup honey
• 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine honey, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for later use.

Step 4

Add the chicken wings to the remaining marinade in the bowl, tossing to ensure the wings are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour if you have more time.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated wings on the wire rack on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then turn the wings over and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved marinade, olive oil, and bring to a simmer.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering glaze until it thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and brush them with the honey garlic glaze.

Step 10

Garnish the wings with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately, and enjoy your low sodium honey garlic chicken wings!
