Ingredients:
- 30 chicken wings
- 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
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat dry the chicken wings thoroughly with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Prepare the Rub: In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to create the rub. Toss the chicken wings in the rub until evenly coated. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again to ensure the wings are well coated.
- Bake the Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings on a lined baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking process (around the 20-minute mark) to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Make the Sauce: While the wings are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, Mirin, honey, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Coat the Wings: Once the wings are baked to perfection, carefully toss them in the prepared honey garlic sauce until evenly coated. Return the coated wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they are evenly glazed.
- Broil for Crispiness: For an extra crispy finish, broil the wings for a couple of minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds for an added crunch and visual appeal. Let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy: Serve these irresistible Honey Garlic Chicken Wings hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, and watch them disappear within minutes!
