Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  3. Place the seasoned wings on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 35 minutes, flipping at the 20-minute mark until golden-brown.
  4. Prepare the honey garlic sauce by combining soy sauce, mirin, honey, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Boil and then let simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Coat the wings with the honey garlic sauce. Return them to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  6. Broil the wings for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Sprinkle wings with sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
