Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels; this is crucial for crispy skin.
- 2In a large bowl, toss the dried chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring no pieces are touching.
- 3Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 4While wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- 5Once wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the thickened honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until every wing is thoroughly coated.
- 6Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my wings extra crispy?
Patting the wings extremely dry before baking is key. Using a wire rack allows air to circulate around all sides of the wings, promoting crispiness. You can also add a tiny bit of baking powder (1/2 tsp) mixed with the spices for even crispier skin.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes, you can air fry them! Toss seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do batches) and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes, until crispy and cooked through. Then toss with the prepared sauce.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the honey garlic sauce up to 3 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before tossing with the cooked wings.
