Flavorful honey garlic sticky chicken wings with a sesame ginger sauce that clings to every crispy bite, balancing sweet honey, garlicky depth, and fresh ginger zing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh chicken wings, tips removed
  • 1/3 cup honey (113 g)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml), low sodium recommended
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: red pepper flakes
  • Optional: chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Spread wings out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  4. While the wings bake, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  5. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Keep stirring until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. Once wings are out of the oven, toss them in the sticky sesame ginger sauce until well coated.
  7. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and optional red pepper flakes or chopped green onions over the wings. Serve immediately while sticky and hot.

Notes

Pat wings dry before baking for crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy wings. Simmer sauce gently to avoid burning. If sauce separates or thins after tossing wings, reheat gently to thicken again. Toast sesame seeds for added aroma and crunch. Let wings cool slightly before coating for best texture.
