Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Minced ginger
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

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

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they have space between them for proper air circulation.

Step 4

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

Step 5

While the wings bake, prepare the sesame glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well to mix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the saucepan, stirring constantly, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the glaze from the heat and set it aside.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
