Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili flakes or sriracha (adjust to heat level)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (to serve)
  • Lime wedges (to serve)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, to serve)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Pat wings dry and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer for 3–5 minutes over low heat until slightly thickened.
  5. Toss baked wings in the warm glaze until fully coated.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with herbs, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Adjust chili flakes or sriracha to suit your spice tolerance.
  • Patting the wings dry ensures maximum crispiness.
  • Optional ginger adds an extra layer of flavor but can be omitted.
