Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water (to mix with cornstarch)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them become crispy. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.

Step 4

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the saucepan, whisking constantly. Let the glaze simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm orange glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
