Ingredients

2 lbs chicken wings

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons sriracha sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin when baked.

Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

Marinate the Wings: Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.

Arrange the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade (discard excess marinade) and arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack.

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

Garnish and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your fiery sweet garlic wings with your favorite dipping sauce!
