Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Asian Chicken Wings
  1. Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels for maximum crispiness. In a mixing bowl, combine the wings with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake for 40–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  3. If using an air fryer, preheat it to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings in a single layer and air fry for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown.
  4. While the wings are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the wings to a mixing bowl. Pour the warm glaze over the wings and toss gently until fully coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
