Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 3 tbsp Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sriracha (optional, for heat)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
• 2 tbsp Chopped green onions (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for even cooking.

Step 4

Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the honey sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, butter, ketchup, rice vinegar, and optional Sriracha if you desire a bit of heat.

Step 6

Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble gently. Remove it from the heat and set aside.

Step 7

When the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm honey sauce over the top and toss to coat the wings thoroughly.

Step 8

Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy these sticky, flavorful Honey Sauced Chicken Wings with napkins on hand!
