Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 stalks scallions, sliced (optional for garnish)
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Place them on the wire rack in a single layer.

Step 3

Bake the wings in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the sticky sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the coated wings back on the wire rack and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes to caramelize the sauce onto the wings.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
