Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Wings
  • 2.5 pounds Chicken Wings approximately 24 pieces
  • 1/4 cup Flour or Gluten-Free Flour
  • to taste Sea Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil or Avocado Oil Spray
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/3 cup Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 4 cloves Garlic, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons Ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Tapioca Flour, Arrowroot Starch, or Corn Starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
For Garnishing
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds optional

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • small saucepan
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  2. Dry the chicken wings very well using a paper towel. This step helps make them crispy.
  3. Add the dried wings to a bowl with the flour, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss each wing until it is fully coated in the flour mixture.
  4. Transfer the coated wings to a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. You can layer both the foil and parchment paper for easier cleanup. You may need multiple baking sheets depending on the size of your wings.
  5. Spray the coated wings with oil and bake them in the oven for 30 minutes. Flip the wings and bake them for an additional 20 minutes.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. Add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan or pot on the stove.
  7. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring for 6-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
  8. After the wings have baked for the final 20 minutes, turn the broiler on for 2 minutes to give the wings a brown color. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove the wings from the oven.
  10. Pour the sauce on top of the wings. Use tongs or your hands to coat the wings evenly in the sauce.
  11. Top with sesame seeds if you are using them, then serve.
