Ingredients:

• 30 chicken wings (approximately 3 lbs.)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Rub:

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Honey Garlic Sauce:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Garnish:

• Sesame seeds

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Start by patting dry the chicken wings with paper towels until they are completely dry. This step will ensure that they become crispy during baking.

In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to create the rub mixture. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the rub. Brush the wings with olive oil to help them brown and become crispy.

Line a baking sheet with foil and place parchment paper on top for easy cleanup. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If needed, use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding. Bake the wings for 35 minutes, flipping them at the 20-minute mark to ensure even cooking.

While the wings are baking, it’s time to prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small pan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, Mirin, honey, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Once the wings are done baking, take them out of the oven and toss them with the prepared honey garlic sauce. Return the saucy wings to the oven for another 10 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time.

For an extra touch of crispiness, broil the wings for a few minutes until they achieve a caramelized glaze. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Allow the wings to cool for about 10 minutes. As the sauce cools, it will thicken and cling to the wings even more. Give the wings a gentle stir every few minutes to ensure they are coated in the delicious sauce.

Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken Wings with your favorite dipping sauce and sprinkle them with sesame seeds for an appealing presentation. Get ready to savor the sticky, sweet, and savory goodness!

Notes:

• If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the honey garlic sauce.
• These wings are perfect for game nights, parties, or even as a main course. Serve them alongside some refreshing coleslaw or a side of steamed rice for a complete meal.
