1. Prepare the chicken
Pat the wings very dry with paper towels. This helps the skin become beautifully crispy.
2. Season
Place the wings in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and cornstarch. Toss until every piece is evenly coated.
3. Bake until crispy
Arrange the wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
4. Make the glaze
While the wings cook, add honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, butter, sesame oil, and water to a small saucepan.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
5. Coat the wings
Transfer the hot, crispy wings to a large bowl. Pour the warm glaze over them and toss until every wing is shiny and completely coated.
6. Make them extra glossy
Return the glazed wings to the oven for 3–5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them so the honey doesn’t burn.
7. Serve
Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately while they’re hot, sticky, crispy, and juicy. 🍗✨
🔥 Crispy Chicken Secret
The key is drying the wings well + a little cornstarch + high heat. The cornstarch helps create that thin, crunchy exterior while the glaze gives the chicken its gorgeous sticky finish.
