Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for your heat preference)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

Sesame seeds for garnish

Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Wings: Begin by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This step is essential for achieving maximum crispiness during baking.

    Make the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil until all the ingredients are well combined into a cohesive mixture.

      Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight if you want a more intense flavor.

        Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). For easy cleanup, line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. The wire rack will ensure that the heat circulates around the wings, contributing to their crispiness.

          Prepare the Wings for Baking: After marinating, remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess sauce to drip off. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not touch, to promote even cooking.

            Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

              Make the Sticky Sauce: While the wings are baking, take the reserved marinade and pour it into a saucepan. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes glossy (approximately 5 minutes).

                Glaze the Wings: Once the wings are fully baked, remove them from the oven and promptly toss them in the thickened sauce until they are evenly coated.

                  Serve: Transfer the sticky chicken wings to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve these delicious wings hot and enjoy!
