- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- ½ cup honey
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
- Thoroughly blot chicken wings using clean kitchen towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crisp exterior during roasting.
- Create a zesty seasoning blend in a mixing bowl, generously coating each wing with the aromatic rub.
- Drizzle wings with high-quality olive oil, massaging the seasoning and oil into the meat for maximum flavor penetration.
- Position wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to promote even cooking and crispy edges.
- Roast wings in a preheated oven, rotating the tray midway through to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration.
- While wings are roasting, craft a luxurious honey garlic glaze by simmering ingredients in a saucepan until the mixture reduces and thickens.
- Remove wings from oven and generously brush with the glossy, caramelized sauce, ensuring complete coverage.
- Return wings to oven for a final caramelization, flipping once to develop a sticky, rich exterior.
- Activate broiler for a few minutes to achieve an irresistibly crisp and slightly charred finish.
- Allow wings to rest briefly, then toss in remaining sauce to intensify flavor and create a glistening coating.
- Serve immediately while wings are piping hot and sauce is at its most luscious consistency.
Notes
- Achieve crispy perfection by thoroughly drying chicken wings with paper towels before seasoning.
- Elevate flavor by creating a homemade honey garlic sauce that caramelizes beautifully during the final baking stage.
- Strategic flipping and broiling techniques ensure maximum crunchiness and even coating, transforming ordinary wings into restaurant-quality appetizers.
