Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top for even crisping.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Season the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Toss to coat evenly, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.

Step 4

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, orange zest, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering glaze, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a clean mixing bowl.

Step 8

Pour the sticky ginger orange glaze over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.

Step 9

Transfer the glazed wings to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
