Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2In a large bowl, combine honey (½ cup), soy sauce (¼ cup), minced garlic (4 cloves), apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon), ground ginger (1 teaspoon), black pepper (½ teaspoon), and red pepper flakes (¼ teaspoon). Mix well to create the marinade.

3Add the chicken wings (2 pounds) to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

4Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated chicken wings (2 pounds) in a single layer on the rack.

5Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

6If desired, broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end to achieve extra crispiness.

7Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with any remaining marinade and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (2) before serving.
