Ingredients:
* 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* 1/2 tsp paprika
* 1/4 cup honey
* 1/4 cup soy sauce
* 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tbsp vegetable oil
* Optional: sesame seeds, chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
* Prepare the wings: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with flour, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
* Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and slightly crispy.
* Make the sauce: While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
* Combine and glaze: In a large bowl, toss the baked chicken wings with the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.
* Broil for extra stickiness (optional): For extra sticky and caramelized wings like in the picture, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
* Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips inspired by the image:
* Emphasis on the glaze: The wings in the image have a thick, glossy glaze. To achieve this, make sure to reduce the sauce enough so it becomes sticky. You can also add a touch of cornstarch to the sauce to thicken it further.
* Deep color: The wings have a rich, deep color, suggesting the use of soy sauce and possibly a longer cooking time or broiling. Don’t be afraid to let the wings get some good color in the oven or under the broiler.
* Presentation: The wings are piled high in a bowl, which makes them look extra appealing. Consider serving them in a similar way.
Enjoy your delicious, sticky chicken wings!
