Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Garnish (Optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the wings to a crispy golden finish.
- Prepare Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly using paper towels. Place them in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, then add baking powder and vegetable oil. Toss until each wing is evenly coated for extra crispiness.
- Arrange and Bake: Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a single layer to allow air circulation. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even browning, until wings are golden brown and crispy.
- Make Sauce: While wings bake, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and ground ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Coat Wings: Once wings are baked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over and toss thoroughly to ensure each wing is well coated with the flavorful glaze.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the wings hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a delightful presentation and added taste.
Notes
- Patting the wings dry and using baking powder helps achieve maximum crispiness in the oven.
- Using a wire rack allows air to circulate evenly around the wings, preventing sogginess.
- You can adjust the honey garlic sauce simmering time to achieve your preferred thickness.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce while simmering.
- Leftover wings can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
