For the wings;
1 kg chicken wings
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
For the Honey Glaze;
½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, grated
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
Sesame seeds
Chopped green onions
Instructions:
Preheat your oven.
Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and get crispy.
In a large bowl, evenly coat the wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Place the seasoned wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Making the honey glaze;
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey glaze.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, butter, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat while stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a simmer.
Once the mixture starts simmering, add the cornstarch slurry.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Transfer the glazed wings to a plate and enjoy.
