Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup honey
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle olive oil over the wings.

Step 4

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

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Stir and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl, then pour the honey garlic sauce over them. Toss to coat the wings thoroughly with the sauce.

Step 9

Serve the wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
