  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup tomato passata or ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional Garnish

  • Freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking tray: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry seasonings: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder to create the seasoning mix.
  3. Coat the chicken wings: Place the 2 pounds of chicken wings on the prepared baking tray. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix over the wings. Toss or mix thoroughly to ensure the wings are evenly coated.
  4. Bake the wings: Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness on both sides.
  5. Prepare honey garlic sauce: While the wings are baking, combine ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ½ cup honey (or maple syrup), ½ cup tomato passata (or ¼ cup tomato paste), 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed oil, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a small bowl, mixing well.
  6. Coat wings with sauce: After the initial 30 minutes of baking, drizzle the prepared honey garlic sauce over the wings and stir gently to coat each wing evenly.
  7. Final bake: Return the sauced wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. This step allows the sauce to caramelize slightly and cling to the wings, enhancing flavor and texture.
  8. Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the wings before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • The cornstarch helps create an extra crispy coating and aids in seasoning adherence to the wings.
  • Maple syrup can be used as an alternative to honey for the sauce.
  • Leftover wings should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and are best consumed within four days.
  • These wings pair well with dipping sauces such as blue cheese or ranch dressing.
  • Serve with side items like celery sticks, fries, or carrot sticks for a complete snack or meal.
