These wings are baked or air-fried (no deep-frying mess), then tossed in a luscious sesame-soy glaze that clings to every crispy bite.


Ingredients

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs (about 1 kg) chicken wings, split and tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda — this helps crisp the skin)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder or paprika

For the Sticky Sesame Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1–2 green onions, sliced for garnish

How to Make Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings

Step 1: Prep and Bake the Wings

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll get.
  3. In a bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
  4. Arrange wings on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Air Fryer Option: Cook wings at 380°F (193°C) for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway through.
