Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste for spiciness)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for extra heat)

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Wings: Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them crisp up during cooking. Place the wings in a large bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.

    Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes if you’re using them. This sauce will give your wings that perfect combination of sweetness and spice.

      Marinate the Wings: Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those delicious flavors. For best results, let them marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or even overnight.

        Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you have one, you can use a convection setting to get them extra crispy.

          Arrange the Wings: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet (this allows the fat to drip off). Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

            Bake the Wings: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time. You want them to be golden brown and crispy. If you like them extra crispy, you can broil them for the last 3-5 minutes—just keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, remove the wings and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with any remaining marinade or a little extra honey if desired. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately.

                Enjoy: These spicy honey garlic chicken wings are perfect for football games, parties, or just a fun night in. Serve with celery and carrot sticks, as well as your favorite dipping sauce on the side!
