Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2.5 lbs (1.25 kg) chicken wings
Dry Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Garnish (Optional):
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped scallions
Instructions
- Calibrate oven to 425°F and position a wire rack over a baking sheet, lightly coating with non-stick spray to prevent adhesion.
- Thoroughly blot chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring maximum crispiness during roasting.
- Transfer wings to a mixing bowl and generously coat with baking powder and salt, creating a uniform layer that promotes crisp exterior.
- Meticulously arrange wings on the prepared rack, ensuring no overlap to allow proper heat circulation and even cooking.
- Roast wings for initial 30 minutes, allowing exterior to develop initial golden color and initial crunch.
- Carefully rotate wings to alternate side, continuing baking for additional 20-30 minutes until skin transforms into deep golden, crackling texture.
- Simultaneously craft honey garlic sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, butter, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.
- Simmer sauce over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, gently stirring until mixture thickens and develops rich, glossy consistency.
- Remove wings from oven and immediately toss in prepared sauce, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Optional: Enhance presentation by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped scallions before serving.
Notes
- Achieve extra crispiness by thoroughly drying chicken wings and using baking powder, which helps break down protein and create a crunchy exterior.
- For gluten-free adaptation, replace regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain the savory flavor profile.
- Prevent soggy wings by ensuring they’re not overcrowded on the baking rack, allowing hot air to circulate and crisp up each wing evenly.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting red pepper flakes or adding sriracha to the honey garlic sauce for those who enjoy spicier dishes.
