Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15–20 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
- Lay the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- In the last 5 minutes, brush any remaining marinade over the wings for extra flavor.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
For extra crispy wings, pat them dry before marinating. Ideal for serving with vegetable sticks and dipping sauces.
