Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.333 cup Honey
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha (or other hot sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Ensure the wings are evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey glaze over the wings and toss them until they're evenly coated.

Step 6

Serve the zesty honey glazed chicken wings on a platter. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top as garnish. Enjoy immediately!
