Whether you're planning your next party or prepping for a tailgate, these honey soy chicken wings are going to be a crowd pleaser. Lightly breaded and roasted in the oven until crispy, these sticky chicken wings are then tossed in a honey soy glaze that's equal parts savory and sweet.

Ingredients

For the wings:
  • 2.5 - 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • Sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
For the glaze:
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 2/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 4 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat your oven to 425˚F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. If you need to, pat your wings dry with paper towels. Mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl (one that is big enough for all the chicken wings.
    Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat. I like to use a rubber spatula for this to help get all the flour bits off the sides of the bowls.
  • Bake the wings. Transfer the wings to your baking sheets and make sure there's adequate spacing between them to help them brown in the oven.
    Put the wings in the oven for 50 - 60 minutes, or until the wings have started to turn golden brown and their internal temperature reaches 165˚. About halfway through cooking, turn the wings on their pans and swap the baking sheets between oven racks.
  • Make the sauce. Combine the honey and soy sauce a large saucepan saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the honey has melted. In a small bowl or jar, whisk the cornstarch until smooth. Add the slurry to the saucepan and stir to combine.
    Continue to cook until the glaze has thickened. This usually takes about 5 minutes. Then, remove it from the heat and let it rest until the wings are cooked.
  • Toss and serve. When the wings have cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the glaze and toss the wings until they're evenly coated.
    Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
