Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs whole chicken wings (about 8–10 wings)
  • 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat wings very dry, then toss with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Let them rest 10 minutes.
  2. Spread wings on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, flip, and bake another 20 to 25 minutes until deep golden and blistered.
  3. Whisk soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and pepper flakes. Brush glaze over baked wings, then broil 3 to 4 minutes until sticky and lightly charred.
  4. Pile wings onto a platter and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes

Resting the seasoned wings for 10 minutes helps dry the skin further, but if you’re short on time, you can skip it and still get crisp results. Leftover glaze can be saved in the fridge for another batch. For a smoky finish, add a drop of liquid smoke to the glaze.
