Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy texture, then place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add olive oil and black pepper to the bowl with the wings. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack over the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir occasionally until the mixture starts to simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the honey garlic mixture while stirring continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the oven and place in a clean mixing bowl.

Step 8

Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until they are thoroughly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium honey garlic wings!
