Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Pat chicken wings dry with a paper towel. This is an important step to achieving crispy wings so don't skip it!
Toss chicken in a large ziplock bag or sealed container with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shake so each wing is fully covered with the seasonings.
Place wings on a wire rack over an aluminum foil lined baking sheet so that the sides of the chicken don't touch. Bake for 30 minutes. Flip wings. Bake for 20 additional minutes. Remove from oven when done.
While chicken is baking, add all Honey Garlic Sauce ingredients to a small pot or sauce pan on the stovetop. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Then drop the heat to medium-low. You should continue to see some bubbles. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Let your sauce cool for a minute or two before adding to the chicken. It will continue to thicken as it sits.
Toss the baked chicken wings in your finished Honey Garlic Sauce to evenly coat. Top with sesame seeds or fresh herbs (both are optional) if you're entertaining and want to make these wings look extra special.
