Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy clean-up.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, paprika, and vegetable oil until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the saucepan. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are golden and cooked through, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Step 9

Remove the wings from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish, and serve immediately.
