How to Make Honey Garlic Wings

Step 1: Preheat the Oven to 375F/190C. In a bowl, mix the salt, pepper powder, paprika, garlic powder, and flour.
Step 2: Chicken wings should be cleaned and patted dry with kitchen tissue paper. If your chicken wings are whole, then cut them at the joints into 3 pieces, and discard the wing tips.
Add dry wings to the bowl, toss well so that chicken wings are coated evenly with the dry ingredients.

Step 3: Lightly spray the wings with oil and bake for 25 to 30 mins, flipping the wings once in between cooking till the wings are crispy.

Step 4: While the wings are getting baked, heat a saucepan over medium heat, add all the sauce ingredients to the pan, and let it simmer for 5 to 8 mins till the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 5: Once the wings are baked, drizzle this sauce over the wings and, with a pair of tongs, evenly coat the wings with sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds and spring onion greens and serve.

Pro Tips To Make Honey Garlic Chicken Wings:

Make sure you pat the wings dry with kitchen tissue; the spices won't coat the chicken properly, and they won't be crispy when baked.
It is important to flip the chicken halfway to get the chicken cooked evenly and to make the chicken crispy.
If the sauce is thin, then heat the sauce a little longer; once cooled, the sauce gets thick.
Leftover wings can stay for 2 days in the refrigerator and can be heated in the oven at 375F/190C for 10 mins or till heated thoroughly.
Do not heat in a microwave, as the texture of the chicken changes when heated in a microwave.
If you want to freeze then do not coat the chicken with sauce. You can bake the chicken, arrange them in between layers of parchment paper to avoid sticking, in a freezer-safe bag or container, and freeze up to a month, then reheat in the oven as mentioned above.
