Ingredients
  

2 lbs fresh chicken wings

1/4 cup Sriracha sauce

1/4 cup pure honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, melted butter, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be your flavorful marinade.

      Add the chicken wings to the bowl and using your hands or a spatula, toss the wings until they are evenly coated in the marinade, ensuring every inch gets that delicious flavor.

        Place the coated chicken wings in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is space between each wing for optimal cooking.

          Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should be crispy and golden brown when done.

            For an extra crispy finish, switch your oven to broil for an additional 3-5 minutes after baking. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning—this will add a delightful crunch!

              Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. For an added burst of flavor, drizzle any remaining marinade over the wings before serving.

                Just before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with the chopped green onions to add a pop of color and freshness.
